Guys, chillax a bit. There are people waiting who applied in October, quite a lot. Some people wait since September. Some wait since summer and spring. Also, there is a person here, who wait since January. They never promised to make decision within a month!

Those of you still waiting for such smiling brown envelop, have faith in God and continue praying, you will surely smile in the end. Wish you all best of luck and joyous Xmas.

And you should book the ceremony date within 2 weeks

What if the post is delayed by 10 days or 2 weeks

Hi, I got acknowledgement by email from the Permanent migration team.
No office address enclosed, I'm afraid.

Perhaps this is only the beginning of a new wave of approvals to come, just like the October one...!

You have three month to attend the ceremony

Where is this requirement stated ? And how much time do you have after the ceremony and applying for British passport. ?

I think you should check with your council about the 2 weeks term. It is definitely 3 month requirement

Could you please try not to write off-topic messages here. It becomes hard to navigate. Also some people worry and write things like "Oh, I am so worried", etc. It does not improve things here. It is nice just to see Timelines and congratulations. If you have questions, you can search forum and also make your own topic easily. Please try not to waste space here. Thank you very much for your understanding.
