Hi All, Question on behalf of a friend. My friend is applying for a student visa to pursue masters in the UK; he married and has 2 kids. He plans to go alone, and probably later in the year, or early next year, he'll apply for his family. In the meantime, while filling in the student application, he...

" We will be resuming some virtual and in person individual citizenship ceremonies in February and will try to rebook all ceremonies in the date of cancellations.

This is my first post, but I've been a reader of this board for a few months. I'm from the Newham council too, and I must say that I regret I didn't pick a different council for the ceremony. I received my invitation letter from the HO a few weeks ago, and the letter is dated before Xmas. Yet, I ke...
Hi all, i have been a silent reader of this forum and it has been so helpful to get clarity on the process! I am also from Newham council and was receieved my approvel on 22nd Oct and the citizenship ceremony invite came in on 16 Jan (was sent by HO on 30th Dec). I was trying the Newham booking pag...
Hi, I am so sorry to hear! This is really frustrating.. Do you think it would be wise to reach out to local councillor? or maybe Mayor of Newham? Why can't Newham start virtual ceremonies like other councils? Let us know if your situation changes.. Once again so sorry to hear that! I have no inform...
Hi, That's good to hear. let us know how it goes. That's true if you can give a call to the council and let us know if your ceremony is still scheduled for Tuesday? I will check back on the website again later today. Thanks Mohammed There are no ceremonies during lockdown. I was advised to send an ...

Hi Yazz, yep- they've advised check the website, as they have started loading certificates on the website. Nothing so far, I'll keep checking. Is your ceremony next week? Thanks Hi, Yes it is booked for next Tuesday. But at this point I'm still confused as I've seen few members here from Newham cou...
Hi Yanis, Unfortunately due to high mortality rate cos of COVID in Newham Council and also, due to lack of resources they are pretty slow in uploading certificates. Keep trying after 2:30 pm every day ( As suggested by Yazzz). Hopefully, we all should have good news from the council this week. Let ...
Hi! Did you check with Newham council? mine is Newham and I tried to reach out but they couldn't find my details plus I haven't received the invitation letter from ho yet. Thanks Yes I tried to call them, managed to get through but they said they have received ma y invitation letters but they would...
Anyone from Newham council here? Can you please share your experience? What reference number have you used to book your ceremony? How long have you been waiting for? Many thanks to those who replied to my previous question Hi! Did you check with Newham council? mine is Newham and I tried to reach o...
Hi Yazz, thanks for the update -silly questions but it's defo Newham council right?

Sorry, I replied to your post by mistake. Was suppose to reply to Yazz. I hope you get your invitation letter soon. Also, check with the council if they can arrange your ceremony without the invitation letter. I am sure I have seen a few posts here.. in which councils arranged ceremonies without in...
Thanks for the update! can you share your timeline for approval and invitation letter? I tried but no luck so far Thanks As said I was approved on 27 OCT 20 But have not received my invitation letter yet but checked Wandsworth council site online and they added my certificate in their online system...
Hi, I was approved on 21 OCT and last week I noticed that my council Wandsworth had my certificate by checking online but I haven't received my invitation letter yet. Royal Mail in Wandsworth (SW18) has severe delays, last week didn't get to see any postman. However, I did email my council and they...
My council is also newham. Hopefully I will get my invitation letter in next couple of weeks (approved on 5th nov). Guess I'll have another waiting period from council as they will have to clear backlog first after resuming ceremonies. 😩 Hi, I am sure you'll your invitation letters in the coming da...

Hi 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 situation? Any suggestions? Thanks Hi what’s y...
