[shekel]

good morning , well mine is a single application ...i applied the 14th of May , and received by the home office the 17th of May ...since then I'm still waiting ...its been 5 weeks ...but to be honest with u , I'm tired of waiting ...and i will not wait any-more ...i will just let it go ..and don't even think about it ...it will come when it will come ...one day definitely ...so i wish everyone good luck and all the best ....God is with us all ...have a nice day ..and keep in touch ...

dont give up man, just call them again and ask if it was already passed to case working team. you paid for the service, u can call as many times as you want, it doesnt affect the result, since people answering the phone are not the same people handling the application

Hello Joe...as you must be a londoner !!!
Because I have seen some cases from Africa beeing treated withing 4 weeks, and most of Indians withing less than 4 weeks...And because I knew you are north african as well,(the way you were filling up the Bottles) I have predicted a 2 months process time for north african people.
I wish and hope from the bottom of my heart, that you and all the other forum member who are waiting the good news, will not wait as long as I did.

For the forum members to understand the expression :(Filling up the bottles), is to be said about some body who is very nosy.

Guys, what is the procedure for changing the council for your citizenship ceremony, do I have to contact the HO or does the council do that? and how long will it take?

[NiiKpani]

Guys, what is the procedure for changing the council for your citizenship ceremony, do I have to contact the HO or does the council do that? and how long will it take?

You can easily get answers when you phone your council up to request the change...so why post it here. Anyways here goes...

Firstly you need to inform the council you want to change to that you wish to move your ceremony to their council and find out about available dates. Do well to get a contact name and address to avoid unecessary delay

You need to contact your allocated council to request a change. Your reason cannot be merely to have an earlier date just because you are in a hurry to be a citizen. Find a justifiable reason e.g. moving house.

They will then forward your details to the council you have requested. You can give them the address of your contact at the council you desire at this stage. Provide them also with your details (phone number/email) and ask them to confirm your documents have been sent over when it is done.

At this point note that your invitation letter (received from UKBA) becomes null and void as your allocated council will inform the homeoffice that you have changed the location of your ceremony.

You then have to wait for another invitation letter from UKBA with your new council on it before booking and attending the ceremony there. It is not enough to say i changed councils over the phone. It must be in writing from UKBA.

My advise is to stick with you current allocated council as UKBA are not known for the speediness of their coresspondence. As to how long it will take, you can roll a dice. You may find yourself waiting longer than if you had simply had the patience to attend at your previously allocated council

then we had the ceremony together - i was in third row!
but, not sure how you could have applied for a passport on 16/06 if you were only given your certificate on 22/06 - you need to send your certificate to the passport folk, too!
