Home Office Invitation Letter Not Arriving

Post by vtox_g » Thu Mar 16, 2023 7:13 pm

Hey,

I received the citizenship approval email from HO on 27th Feb however I have not received any letter inviting me to the ceremony.

I have contacted kent council on this couple of times they confirmed that they have already dispatched the letter.

I am not sure what to do and who to contact about this, Can someone please help me.

Also, can I attend the ceremony in a different council than what I had chosen during the application?

Thank you

Ask the council to email to you if they sent it.

No. In order to do this, you have to request it from UKVI. The current council then has to return the certificate to UKVI, who will then send it out at some point to the council you opt for. The process can take many weeks.

Please DO NOT send me a PM for immigration advice. I reserve the right to ignore the PM and not respond.

Thank you very much for your quick reply, I really appreciate it.

Council have confirmed saying that they have sent the letter but I have not received it. They have confirmed over the email.

Can I visit the council and collect it from there? do you think they will entertain me there?

No sin in failing, you just have to try and try again!
