Letter of invtation to book the ceremony of naturalisation

[omarwan]

I received the confirmation from the Home Office that my application for naturalization has been successful on 10th July and I have not received the invitation letter to book a ceremony with my local authority yet. I have contacted my local council and they confirmed for me that ceremony for naturalization has been resumed and they can book me in, but they can't process the booking without the invitation letter from the Home Office. Does anyone have the same issue ?

There is an existing topic about this and the delays.

Hi CR001,

This topic is slightly different - the question is what happens with the applications approved during the lockdown, and the topic you are pointing to is about ceremonies that were already scheduled but got cancelled because of the lockdown.
It seems that applicants who's ceremonies got cancelled can now book ceremonies with their councils as they already have invitation letters and the councils have their certificates.
However, many applicants who got approvals during the lockdown still can't book their ceremonies even though the councils have open slots because we don't have the ceremony invitation letters. And it's not clear how to proceed - I'd be interested if anyone of this forum gets any updates as I've been waiting for more than 12 weeks since I got an email that a decision on my application had been made, but I haven't received a ceremony invitation letter and can't book a ceremony although my council confirmed they have availability.
