Councils will definitely call you if they got your certificates. One of my friend got call from council and told him to book a ceremony even ha had not got his invitation letter . Online ceremonies won’t cancel even there is a lockdown but private or group maybe. Few of us had their ceremonies witho...

I wonder if anyone know about my question. My friend got approved in February when restrictions were not imposed. He was out of country. he came back and found his invitation post on 🚪 door. He rang the council and it was too late. Council already sent his certificate back to HO. He rang HO and expl...

That is fine but in my case it was HO fault not mine. They should have sent both.
Good luck

It’s a 0300 number on letter. You need to tell them if you did not get your certificate. But they are not efficient on other enquiries

Called Sheffield council but they have not resumed ceremonies and there is no certificate of my name among other certificates. Rang HO and asked to send Certificate and why it has...

80% of civil servants are either not working or working from home. How they are working no one knows. Staying at home since pandemic made them lazy and would not like to work. Now they are talking about second peak, so that they can enjoy more holidays. It will take more time to bring them back to u...

I rang again at 0300 number and HO replied due to Covid we have limited numbers of employees. I told him that you were repeating same reply again and again every time I rang you. I asked how long I am to wait? How many invitations you sent in a week? Which order? Canot you make applications traceabl...

Yes, citizenship is a privilege, not a right; but it's a privilege that we paid good money for and invested much of our time and efforts in the process, Therefore now we do have the right to be concerned and frustrated because we're not receiving the timely and effective service that we paid for. T...

Rang HO and after a long hold wait for reply and at the end HO repeated the same shyte i.e due to corona virus our services are limited and need waiting.

A kind lady booked me for a group ceremony in the first week of september so I am almost done with this citizenship but I am not expecting a smooth ride as long as applying for passport is concerned as a massive backlog is expecting there as well. Wishing everyone good luck for the HO invitation an...

xxxxxxxis good. He has done many interviews with very famous people. Newspaper are good too. ITV news on tele if someone knows how to do that.

Maybe we should all start sending our struggle with HO to the major tv news channels and have it taken over by them as we may end up worst than windrush generation. I got no idea how to do reach TV news. If members have done it before, please let us know what we should do. On the other hand, I woul...
