I never got this. Maybe fill out the survey indicating there's been some mistake with your paperwork printing and it's incredibly frustrating. And keep chasing via all the other channels..JKAR25142 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 23, 2021 1:18 pmHi matennn15 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 16, 2021 1:31 pmI understand this causes a lot of distress.

Tell them there's been a mistake as the Home Office has already confirmed 4 months ago that the paperwork for all applications approved up to August 2020 had been printed and processed. Therefore no one is likely to be working on your application and hence you'd like it to be investigated.
Follow up on all the channels, communicate it's some mistake on the Home Office side as they've confirmed it's done but you still haven't received any paperwork, so it needs to be investigated and further wait won't change anything.
Out of all the channels the MP is probably the most powerful one. And do submit complaints at the HO website.
I got this!

Approval letter came per email on the 4th.
Ceremony letter always comes by post.
I called Aberdeen City council today and they told me to send an email to registrars@aberdeencity.gov.uk
Which I just did. They said it might take couple of days. Typical!
But I think Aberdeen Council is not very bad, as last time I talked to the lady at the phone, she told me that typically they manage to arrange ceremonies within 1-2 weeks.
Good Luck )
It can be either by post or by email. Look out for the two channels. And congrats.yoz_yok wrote: ↑Sat Mar 27, 2021 6:59 pmHello all,

Any new information as to what date they have reached yet in terms of invitations letters being sent out? It’s Easter week so I’m guessing nothing much going to happen this week. Was approved on 15th Jan and am still waiting......!
You should receive your invitation this Saturday/ Monday coming. The latest you will receive it will be next Saturday the 10th of April

Great that you received your letters. I am still to receive the invitation from Essex council. They appear to be so slow in the way they do things. The coronovirus epidemic has masked the incompetence in how public services are discharged.Mak9878 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 7:05 pmReceived Ceremony Invitation Letter from HO: 31/03/2021, date on letter is 17/03/2021.Mak9878 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 08, 2021 7:29 pmHi Everyone,

Instructed on letter to book within 21 days of receipt of letter with your council (Newham).
I logged into Newham website, it is asking Group and and Private Ceremony option. Private ceremony is costing £105.
Is Private ceremony free in coronavirus pandemic?
Group ceremoney dates are coming after three month.
