Would you kindly let me know if you received the letter of approval and the invitation for the ceremony on the same date or were they sent separately on different dates. Thank you for your assistance.

Hi GoanG.

The approval letter (dated 5th Jan, in brown envelope from UKBA) and invitation for ceremony (dated 10th Jan, in white envelope from my local council) arrived on the same day. I'm not sure if this always happens, since one is from UKBA and the other is from the local council.

[Rehan Arain]

Hi

Are there still any Dec 2012 applicants waiting for their approval ?

[chicona]

I am waiting from October ;-(

[BigSam]

like chicona, I am waiting from October and I think Rayanbest is still waiting from early November too.

I applied under the 10 Long Residence as well.

Nobody knows how the UKBA works. All we can do is forget about it and chill. It certainly helped me get through my days much better
