Congratulations Juliajules! and goodluck with the last stage of BC journey.juliajules1979 wrote:Thank you all for your comments.
Kasif I sent a letter with stamps on and a recorded delivery sticker so they could send it back to me. I received all my documents and the approval letter in the same envelope.
I just thought it was my documents being sent back, truly didnt think it would be approval letter in there aswel, just started reading and though wow!!!
That is very true but with people like that they never listen to polite as you can see always a very different story if you met them in person they like to hide behind there computersgirlpower19818 wrote:Grantring, I think you can still express the same opinion in a polite manner please.

Well its clear they cant read the simple rules of the time line thread as you cant.retwhite wrote:GRANTRING why are u so angry and so nasty. Suprised your wife didn't get her ILR on the basis of Domestic Violence with your awful disgusting attitude. You really are such a w**ker! and as for critising some ones writing whos first language is not English is really low. I've read back over some of your posts as as a British person you write poorer than some poeple on he who's first language isn't english!
Well, from other posts here, I thought it was possible to book the ceremony before receiving the invitation letter. So I went ahead and called the council, but the lady asked for a number starting with 8, that it's only printed in the invitation letter. So I couldn't book it. Maybe it's not the same for all councils, but it's this way in Southwark.juliajules1979 wrote:Hi
Has anyone called the Citizenship ceremony office after recieving their approval letter but not the letter of invitation. If so what questions do the Citizenship office ask when booking appointment,
Many thanks
Re. rules change, my impression is that it is very unlikely that any change will affect those already on ILR. Have you seen any change in the last 10 years that has affected ILR holders? And even if there was a change, the government seem to know now what is non-retrospective effective of laws. Finally, any such change would prevent ILR holders from becoming citizens, not removing the "indefinite" from our ILR.juliajules1979 wrote:For me also it is about travel, I'm fed up getting a schengen visa to travel with my partner every time we go away, also want to make sure I apply before and if any rules change in the future. I think most people just want a decision so they can get out of the immigration sytem once and for all!
Im British but for me I am eager for my husband to get his citizenship for two reasons really. one being I have a very high needs child with complex issues and I can not travel alone with her and being Palestinian my husband does not have the freedom to travel to certain countries like I do so we are somewhat limited where we go visit especially in the Middle East.Maybe my question is already discussed here, in that case please accept my apologies.
I am wondering why people are so anxious about citizenship applications. This is not a life changing event after all. ILR is, but BC? It is a straightforward application, the rules are easy to understand, the only uncertainty is about the time it takes. But we know for sure that when we meet the criteria we will get it even if it takes a year. My main reason for applying now is that I don't want to pay more if I wait. If I was sure the fee increase will be less than the inflation rate, I wouldn't bother. I don't travel that much so BC would not change anything for me.
What about you?
Just got the invitation letter today, dated 3/5. So if my approval letter was dated 2/5, then it took 12 days to reach me.juliajules1979 wrote:Hiya
Just wondering if anybody knows how long it takes for an invitation letter to come through after the approval letter is receieved.
Many thanks
