Cheers for the reply. Unfortunately, I'm not close to the Council House and will probably have to book a day off work to visit.John wrote:Do you live or work reasonably close to the Council House? If you do suggest you call in and speak to them in person, and arrange your Citizenship Ceremony.
But we have of course had two days of Bank Holiday, plus the two days of weekend, since you received your letter, so maybe you will get through soon on the telephone. They are very busy .... the biggest "provider" of Citizenship Ceremonies in the UK.
Don't suppose you remember the email address? The answering machine message doesn't mention any email addresses now.dale36 wrote:Mashk
I TOTALLLY know what you are going through. I got my letter in early Feb and it took 2 months to finally get a letter with a date from bham city council. The phone numbers are wrong. I called the home office and they told me they recently moved buildings. apparantly it is chaos. I emailed several times, made a formal complaint to the council, got phone message back saying they didn't have my name (I have no idea how that is possible) and then after giving up completely, got a random letter with a date for the ceremony. Send an email to the NCS team (the address on the the answering machine) with all your details, wait for a reply then email the city council complaints department. I also contacted my MP as well. Not sure what did it, I never found out, but keep a log of all the contacting you do. They will get you eventually. Hang in there, they won't forget you. If worse comes to worse, call the home office, they are aware of the situation.
Good luck!
