Eligibility criteria: 5yr (HSMP, T1G) + 1yr ILR
Method of application: NCS (Westminster)
Date of receipt by UKBA: 25 Feb 2013
Date of debit of fees: 28 Feb 2013
Date of receipt of acknowledgement: 05 Mar 2013 (dated 28/02, second class mail)
Date of approval: 12 Mar 2013
Date of Ceremony: 29 Apr 2013

Some comments:
1. I was overseas for 6 weeks due to a family emergency so do not know when the approval letter was sent. But I did send an email to UKBA stating this fact.
2. Called local council on 22 April to arrange for ceremony. No mention was made of the 21 days from date of approval restriction. Ceremony scheduled for 29 April.
3. I did state an alternative council for ceremony in my application, but the approval letter still states my local council as the ceremony location.
4. I did not include details of my parents details in the citizenship application form as I was sure it has no bearing on my application.

Good luck to all.
