Received my HO approval email yesterday (30/06/2022), over 2.5 months after my application was approved as per the above, genuinely lost for words. It also happens to be one day after I received my first adult UK passport from HMPO, that's how long it's been... Good luck to those waiting!ah1739 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 07, 2022 4:45 pmReceive a "duplicate" citizenship ceremony invitation today (07/06/2022) which most definitely the first I received. 3 weeks after I already attended the citizenship ceremony because I contacted the council directly. For those still waiting, my advice is above on how to go about following up. Clearly the case workers / the HO systems are not sending out approvals/invitations as they should.ah1739 wrote: ↑Wed May 18, 2022 12:35 pmEligibility criteria: ILR + 1 year

Date on approval email: None - I contacted them back in March and they eventually responded that my application was approved on 12th April and that I should have received an email on this date but I didn't
Date of invitation ceremony : None - I contacted the council I put on my application (have moved since and notified them but they still sent my certificate to my old council!). They confirmed they have my certificate and allowed me to book the ceremony even without a HO or ceremony invitation letter and confirmed HO reference needed was my application number.

For anyone still waiting, I would recommend contacting your MP (they approved my application a couple of weeks after this), raising a complaint and emailing furthernationalityenquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk. It seems some people are just not getting any approval emails so you can also try to contact your council directly.
