It is really annoying. It was bad enough that we had to wait for months for the invitation from home office now we have to wait for council to send us invite. It is seriously affecting my mental health now
I feel the same, everything takes ages. Max time for the approval (6 month) then (3 month) for the invitation and now I think it's at least 3 more month if not more to actually do the ceremony. It's like a full year 
Is there any paticullar reason why you need it asap?jasmine89 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 16, 2021 8:36 pmDesmond123 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 16, 2021 6:43 pmI am from Manchester Council aswel,I received the same email from them when I asked them about ceremony. I hope they solve this ASAP.

same here for me in London EALING. invitation date 8th December but still can't book ceremony because it is suspended
Surprised they address people as citizens when clearly they are not yet citizens, that council must be a zoo....hannah2019 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 17, 2021 1:48 amHiaskmeplz82 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 16, 2021 11:51 pmjasmine89 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 16, 2021 8:36 pmDesmond123 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 16, 2021 6:43 pm

Ealing council send me an email few days ago.
“”Thank you for your email.
Congratulations on your successful application for British Citizenship.
We are aware that you may have received your Home Office letter which states that you need to book a ceremony within 21 days, but we can confirm that all citizens have 6 months to attend their ceremony and we will ensure that you are allocated a ceremony before your deadline expires.
Currently we are focusing on accommodating citizens whose ceremonies were scheduled for January but have been cancelled due to the current nationwide lockdown.
Once we are able to book your ceremony, we will contact you either by email or by post.
Our resources are currently being redirected to assist with the excess volume of death registrations, therefore we ask that you do not contact us and wait for us to contact you.
We thank you in advance for your patience.””
They didn’t mention anything about cancellation. Their website says public ceremony are cancelled and there’s nothing about private. How do you know all ceremony are cancelled? I thought they are still doing private.
Almost. I applied on 25 August and got the approval 22 October. Received my invitation letter 13 Jan and emailed my local council on 14 Jan. I was called on Friday 15 Jan and booked in for a virtual ceremony on Monday 18th.Sanaazim wrote: ↑Sat Jan 16, 2021 4:37 pmOh wow we are sharing same date me and my husband is also waiting for invitation fingers crossed hopefully we get it soon good luckrussn wrote: ↑Sat Jan 16, 2021 4:07 pmNo probs.

Hi what’s your timeline and which one is your councilshahzy970 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 18, 2021 1:15 pmHi All,
Finally received the invitation letter, however, when contacting the council, they cannot find my details on the system? Maybe the possibly they haven't updated the system as ceremonies are suspended until the end of January.
Anyone in the same sititaon? Any suggestions?
Thanks
