Thanks God, a long journey comes to an end (even still have to apply for PP and wait for it at least 4 weeks). During all the hard times, the best companion of my this road trip was, of course, this forum. A Big Thanks to all Gurus, Moderators and valuable members who shared their advices, experiences and thoughts.
Group Citizenship Ceremony was arranged at the end of March by my council but I changed it to a personal one but still it's not quite near
. I have seen some members who managed to get a personal ceremony within a week's time which is quite fascinating ... I hate to wait..... Can you tell me how you booked so quickly? or it depends on the volume of ceremony request council is dealing with?
Good luck and wish you all the best for those who are still waiting.. Don't worry, all will be fine
