Kadey123 · Post by **Kadey123** » Thu Nov 12, 2020 4:57 pm

I have been a silent reader for over 7months and I thought I’d share my boyfriends timeline as I helped him through the process and also came across this page.

Eligibility criteria: 12 years + 1 year Settled status&1 year EU Permanent residence
Language/LIUK Criteria: Degree
Nationality : Swedish
Method of application: online
Date of application: 04/04/2020
Date of acknowledgement: 06/04/2020
Date of debit of fees: 04/04/2020
Date Biometrics enrolled: 14/07/2020
Date of receipt of approval: 17/08/2020(email)
Date on Approval letter: 17/08/2020
Date of receipt of ceremony letter: Not yet received from HO but my local council (Havering) received my certificate 12/11/2020 and emailed me to book a ceremony.
Date of Ceremony: 24/11/2020

Good luck to you all and I am so great full for this thread as it has helped me and my partner through these uncertain times to keep hope throughout this whole process. I hope you all soon receive your approval letters and certificate cards and can apply for you British passport.

Have a lovely day and see you in the passport thread.
