How old is your daughter?Template wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 10:47 amDear CR01
Today I have received the approval email from home Office for me and my dependants citizenship.
I am in Dubai on business visit and it might take me a month and half to complete things hereI am supposed to complete.
Q1. Am I allowed to stay abroad after I received approval e-mail ?
Nothing to worry. You only received the approval email. You will receive ceremony invitation from Home Office which can take around 3 months after approval. You can only book your ceremony thereafter with your council within 6 months AFTER the date on the ceremony invitation letter NOT approval. You only become British when you attend the ceremony. You can travel on ILR before you become British. You will have to apply for British Passport after that as ILR BRP will be invalid
Q2. Still I have to receive the ceritificate and when I get that one am I allowed to stay abroad after that.

Q3.i think I get only citizenship once I take oath in the council ?
Till that time I can be abroad for work ?
Yes. You will have to come back to attend the ceremony in UK. Note, ceremony invitation can be sent via email OR post so someone has to be checking the post also
Q4. Can I request council for the date of oath and before that I can come to London and finish my work here?
You will have to wait for HO ceremony invitation letter which can take around 2-3 months after approval
Q5.
Can my wife and daughter go for oath to council with out me?
They will follow the same procedure on THEIR OWN. With or without you does not matter. Only adults attend the ceremony. Note children become British at the date of approval/date on certificate as they do not attend the ceremony.
