Hi Cullinan - had a double take but this is amazing news, congrats and very happy for you! Happy weekend y’all

Thank you

[CULLINAN]

Also this may help: I received a UKVI survey on 6th Nov but no decision email. I contacted HO on 10th Nov. I received my approval in POST on 14th Nov (dated 12th 10th Nov. So same day enquiry was sent. So if anyone of you receives a UKVI survey but no decision in email, best to contact HO. I am not sure if that triggered my approval sent via POST.

Also, my approval does not ask me to wait 12 weeks standard for ceremony. I am assuming my approval was made earlier but not pushed through via email and was posted after the enquiry. I may get ceremony citizenship invitation soon.

I forwarded them the same UKVI survey email and mentioned that usually the survey is sent after a decision is made. I am concerned that my decision is made but not pushed thorough. Requested them to resend approval in case a decision is made. Got in the post today.

What email address is registered with UKVI/UKVCAS?

[regularuser]

Thanks Cullinan for the contact email addresses.

Is that correct if you receive survey means decision has been made ?

I have received email survey back in 13/06/2020 and I have raised in the forum about this but no response from anyone.

I have just emailed on both email addresses and now waiting for their reply

Nothing in the post or even in the junk, hopefully they have made decision but not posted yet assume lot of pressure for the ceremonies.

I was also away from country for 1 month and when I came back Immigration officer did not ask me anything ?

I will update the forum if I heard back from them.

Pray for me

There is a possibility your decision is made but not pushed through. Better to send an enquiry and check. Good luck and keep us posted. Keep an eye on email and post both.

[regularuser]

Thanks Cullinan for your quick reply.

Let's wait and watch.

Sure I will update the forum but the strange thing when I came back from Home country Immigration officer didn't ask me a single question just stamp it and told me go for 14 day quarantine

I would think so. I think your approval was made earlier. Its kind of unthinkable to see people getting approval or response earlier than the Feb-July applications. I think our ceremony invitation are due soon as well. One of the guys in my area who applied in May has received the official invitation for the ceremony.

The question is will they still be running the ceremonies under lockdown?

[CULLINAN]

Lets discuss the ceremonies in the ceremony thread. This thread is for biometrics.

Thank you bro, all I can do is to wait. I have seen people applied after me got their decision. Hence I am confused

Hi all,
I applied for a citizenship, naturalisation route and I have a settled status.
I am trying to book an appointment for my biometric with UKVCAS but all I can find (whatever time I try to book) is just appointments with a fee. I read many of you managed to book a free appointment.
Am I missing something?
Thank you very much in advance!
