Quick update on ceremony: Received an invitation email from council the same day to book ceremony, but the earliest day available was in March 11th with few spots only. Sent an email asking if an earlier date is available (they usually arrange smaller groups due to high demand), luckily got one for Feb 8th, and I booked. I was almost going to book private one, this has saved nearly £350!bigfootisreal wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2024 12:00 pmSent a follow up email to FNE on 23.01.2024 but didn't receive a response.

I am getting a bit concerned, as I thought we had pretty straight forward applications. I am a NHS doctor, and I fulfill all the eligibility criteria. Does having 2 applications delay the processing times more?
