Today my exact 12 weeks has been passed. Anyone has any recommendations what next step I should take ? Any help really appreciated. Thank you very much.
You do have options to get more information, but there is no sure-way of accelerating the process, which in your case is now much delayed, given that people approved in the first week of September have been receiving their invitations.
The easiest thing to do would be to confirm with you council if they have got your certificate. If there is an online booking system in place, you can check if it is possible to book using your details, the HO reference number being the one from your approval letter/e-mail attachment.
Based on what happens there, I would envisage the following decision tree:
(S.1) It is possible to book a ceremony online:
-------(S.1.1) Good news, but you decide to wait until your invite has arrived
-------(S.1.2) The invite should be on its way and therefore you decide to book anyway
----------------(S.1.2.1) The invite arrives in time: go and attend the ceremony
----------------(S.1.2.2) Your invite does not arrive in time and you have two options:
---------------------------(S.1.2.2.1) Cancel the booking and wait for invite
---------------------------(S.1.2.2.2) Turn up on the day with your ID and the approval letter print-out:
-----------------------------------------(S.1.2.2.2.1) It works, job done
-----------------------------------------(S.1.2.2.2.2) They turn you away and you need to re-book
(S.2) Your certificate hasn't arrived at the local council or there is no way for your to confirm this, you can write to the Home Office Nationality Group, in pen and paper, not by email.
