"You reap what you sow!" And you have sowed a lot in this forum over the past couple of years! So you are more than deserving of this final outcome. CONGRATULATIONS!Papafaith wrote:Had our Citizenship Ceremony last Friday, the 24th. Bringing to an end this journey. I Give God praise for bringing this to pass and i want to appreciate folks on this board for all the surport. God bless you all.
Papafaith wrote:Blue, A private ceremony is one in which you apply to attend alone, it is done for a fee. Rather than wait for the scheduled time, which could take as long as two months from date of approval, you could pay a fee to have a ceremony the next day after approval if you want. My council charges £150 for this.
You arrange this after receiving your letter from HO which advises you to contact your council for further arrangement. You can then ask for a private ceremony if you so desire.
