You are free to travel. Your absence is only relevant up to the date of application. Travel after applying is irrelevant

You are only British once you attend your ceremony, not from approval notifications.

Untill you attend your ceremony, you are an ilr holder only.

This is not an on-demand forum - people don't sit on forums 24/7. Please, have some patience and don't bump the post every hour. When someone who can answer your query will be free, they will do so.

My guess is yes, you technically can do that; however, if you try to apply for passport from abroad, HO might consider this as a violation of your future intentions to reside in UK and revoke citizenship, as was mentioned on forums here, so be careful.

Also I hope you have appropriate right to work in a country you're going to.

Hello,

I am not a moderator but I can share my experience. I received the very same reply from Further Nationality on 25/08. Then on 30/08 from Citizenship Support a further communication/confirmation that my BC app. was successful. I rang my council last week and they said they have not received anything yet, but they also told me that they usually receive communications/ paperwork (certificates) from HO on Fridays, so best option is to get in touch on Mondays. I rang the Council this morning again and I was able to book my ceremony appointment (private). So it's been 10 calendar days for me. Good luck :) !!!

So basically you haven't received email from Ho
of approval right , No not yet, I think it's just a matter of time for the email from HO Atlas to arrive, the Council told me that there might be some issue with HO email comms. (not unusual), But at this point what really matters is that they (Council) got my certificate so I can proceed with becoming a BC.
From HO RIGHT ? As above
