Hi
This is for a friend who got approved today via email and from Hounslow council.

Baybars1 or anyone from Hounslow Council can please tell me what is the waiting time I can see people who got approved end of September are getting their approval letters.

Any help would be appreciated
I would say 1-2 months.
Personal opinion only, not to be mistaken for legal advice. Please DO NOT PM me for immigration advice. Love for All, Hatred for None.

I'm glad there seems to be some progress!
Did they specify anything about the issue? Was it a technical problem or something else? I'm wondering if our paperwork didn't get printed because of the same issue.
If they only need to print the certificates to rectify the problem in our case, I can't see why that would take weeks. Let's see if we get anything by the end of the year... If not, it will be a month in January - a reason to follow up as they said they would investigate it as an "urgent matter".
Hi raij and nnn15.
The HO upheld my complaint and said that due to an "administrative error", my paperwork has not been printed and dispatched. However, the error has now been rectified.
Nevertheless, they said that they can't give me a date of when the certificate will be dispatched and that I have to wait and avoid contacting them or my council until I receive the invitation.

Not really sure what that means in terms of how long I am expected to wait now.
My interpretation is that I am now back to the end of the queue as if I have been approved today like anyone approved in December. So maybe I will have to wait till the end of January now.
Don't really know. Maybe I am wrong, and I will receive it earlier than that.
Anyways. I am going to forget about it for now and see what happens in the new year.
Thanks for updating us. This does sound like a mess.
By the way the HO also confirmed to me I'm actually a mid March approval. So the wait is approaching 9 months and no idea how much longer it's going to last, despite the fact the HO admitted they made a mistake.
The office of my MP sends an enquiry once a month if they don't hear back from the HO. They've sent 4 already. I'm hoping the HO would want to minimise the number of MP enquiries, especially if the issue is straightforward to resolve. And at some point it will be easier for them to just print and send the paperwork. The longer the wait, the higher the probability of further 'administrative errors' and 'technical problems'!

Did the HO tell you they are treating this issue as an urgent matter and will endeavour to dispatch the paperwork as soon as possible? That's what they told me in the email. They didn't follow through on any of the previously communicated timelines though, so I'm not too hopeful they will sort out the problem soon.
They didn't say anything about treating it like an urgent matter at all. Here's what they said:

" I regret that I am unable to provide an exact timescale for completion. Please do not contact your Local Authority until you have received your invitation as they will not have your certificate to conduct your ceremony before this."

I don't know what to say really. I don't wanna upset myself by thinking about it too much. But let's stay hopeful.
no sadly no , as it was only email i received , i give the mp office a ring today to find out what is happening and mention to them what is happening toi you maybe , just maybe i am in the same boat of "administrative error"

To Soo123 :
I am from Hounslow council.
App. 18.08.
Certificate received on 18.11. by council.
Yesterday I wrote an email to them ( again ), asking for Ceremony date for next year.
So far, they were very stubborn to arrange me one without that invitation letter.
Usually , they ring me next day after my email.
So, I'll see what's gonna happen today/tomorrow and let you know.
Good luck everyone , guys.

Hi
I received approval on 14th October , nothing till now , but I have ringing my council this Friday and they told me to ring next week again as council receive delivery every Thursday weekly
it can sadly take between 8-12 weeks for invitation to arrive . so max around jan time ,
I been waiting 6 months now 26 weeks - week 27 will start on monday :(
I dont think so, i think they are moving fast now. Saw another timeline of a lady that was approved on the 23rd of Nov and she got her invitation letter on the 9th of Dec. Thats 2weeks. Fingers cross becos mine was approved 4 days after hers.

What is the difference between an upheld vs a not upheld complaint?
They said the problem has been rectified. But your issue is still unresolved and they can't even provide any timelines on when it can be resolved. Isn't the process of "upholding a complaint" supposed to address the issue?
I'll post an update about the kind of response I receive on my complaint, it should come in the next couple of weeks.
Have you involved your MP?

Hi guys,

it's very interesting as I just received response to my complain and it says "I am unable to uphold your complaint.". I'm in similar situation as you, waiting since 10th of June, I guess the only hope is that if they solve your issues mine will get solved as well. Good luck guys!

Was it your first or second complaint?

I submitted my first complaint in September. That complaint was about not having received my paperwork although the HO communicated to me back in spring I would receive it when citizenship ceremonies resume. That complaint wasn't upheld, but they told me my paperwork would arrive within 8-12 weeks. When 12 weeks passed and nothing arrived, I submitted a complaint about the previous complaint. Now I am waiting for the HO response.

According to the HO website, if the response to a complaint on a complaint is not satisfactory, one can take it further to the Ombudsman. Maybe that's why they would have an incentive to 'uphold' the second complaint?

It was my first complaint, you might be correct by saying that by default they refuse to uphold the first complaint. The irritating part is that the person did not provide any case specific updates, once again they have thrown at me some generic mumbling about COVID-19 and issues local councils have to organize ceremonies. All of which is not true since people are receiving their invitation letters and mine was not printed nor did council receive the certificate. I guess I will have to wait for few weeks and send them another complaint since their are not playing fairly, unless your cases help to solve mine.

Hi, guys.
Remind me please HO phone number , regarding citizenship.
I got an email ( response ) from Hounslow council, advising me contact HO as a matter of urgency, as they ( at the council ) have my certificate since 18.11.
I wrote an email to HO, but also I want to try my luck on the phone.

Called them yesterday on 0300 790 6268 - opt 2 then 2
Not really helpful as they do not have access to the system. Kept repeating that they were told by HO that all certificates for approvals up to the end of August were despatched before Nov. 30th, so they can only guess that September and beyond are now currently being processed, but again, they have no visibility or cannot tell you where an individual case is at. Let us know here if you have more luck.

Hey
I am a silent reader I called HO yesterday and was told the same All August certificates despatached
and here is my timeline
Applied 30/06/2020
Approved 08/08/2020
Still waiting for my certificate

got this email today i dont know what to do anymore.

"Citizenship ceremonies and ceremony invitations

Government restrictions in relation to COVID-19 have understandably restricted the ability of local authorities to provide citizenship ceremonies, as the safety of customers must be paramount

Whilst we will continue to work closely with our local authorities to expand the provision of citizenship ceremonies, including the expansion of availability of virtual ceremonies, due to the changing restrictions and guidance relating to COVID-19, it is not possible at this time to advise when a certificate will be despatched once an application has been approved.

However, we can confirm that we have just completed the processing of certificates and ceremony invitations for applications that were approved in August and have now commenced processing those for applications approved early September.

Ceremony invites are sent by 2nd class post and can take up to 10 working days to be delivered.

We will update our website with any new information, in particular, in relation to the time it might take to despatch certificates. Please be assured that once a customer receives their Citizenship Ceremony Invitation Letter, they will still have up to six months within which to complete ceremony.

Exceptional circumstances relating to an urgent need to complete a British citizenship ceremony will, of course, be taken into consideration, with the appropriate supporting evidence. If you need to undertake a ceremony urgently, please contact us at Citizenship.Support@homeoffice.gov.uk. However, we are unable to guarantee that we will able to expedite any ceremony request at this time.

We would ask that you do not contact us, or your local authority, regarding your ceremony at this time and be assured that we are working as quickly as possible to despatch your certificate. Your patience and understanding at this time are much appreciated.

So my MP sent me h.o. REPLY and and makes a bit /little sense :
Mrs XXX submitted her application on XXX February 2020.
Her ceremony was
approved on 30 November 2020.
XXX ’ application has been successful subject to the completion of a
citizenship ceremony
British citizenship ceremonies are delivered on our behalf by individual local
authorities.
Once XXX nationality certificate has been
dispatched to her local
authority, she will receive a Citizenship Ceremony Invitation Letter instructing that
that she should approach them to book a ceremony. Customers are advised not to
contact their local authority until they receive an invitation letter inviting them to do so(...)

then there is standard info that some of you had it already.

OK , SO , my citizenship aplication approval was start of june . do you think what i am thinking - that by "Her ceremony was
approved on 30 November 2020
. "-they meant that my invitation got printed ? / or are they approved y citizenship aplication again and i am right at the back of the queue again ?

They seem to be changing the wording. Before an application used to be just "successful". Are there any special approvals required for a successful applicant to attend a ceremony?

Maybe you could attach the approval letter you received in June and ask the MP what prevents the HO from sending your naturalisation certificate? Given they've confirmed all the paperwork for up to August approvals has been dispatched. Since you've been waiting for so long, can they just include your certificate with the next delivery?

I asked this to my MP, they said they'd try but it's ultimately up to the HO when they print and send the paperwork.

I actually asked my mp , to ak them what they meant by that , attached my approval email copy(pdf) , and to ask them if they mean by 30th November - do they mean that my invitation got printed or are they " double approved me" - T.B.C

Approval 25th September and no letter either. Only consolation is that my council have promised to book me in for the earliest ceremony as soon as they receive the certificate. God knows when that will be :|
