Very happy with Date of Ceremony given, suits the family and myself very well, besides, what's the point of rushing it up after 6 1/2 yrs, notwithstanding will be travelling before that date, and the fact that I have been reliably told that a Group Ceremony is quite an experience and atmosphere.

Notes:
-I sent two Travel Documents with all my travels up to April 2018 and the rest of the year was covered by letter from my employer. I also provided a letter from my previous employer and 3 years' worth of P60s just to drown them in evidence.
-I emailed the HO on two dates (late October and 5 November) and got a standard "will take a while" reply the first time, the second time, however, I requested information on whether anything was posted to me and they actually replied that nothing had been.
-I will post an update later re passport as I might have issues, having changed my name after getting married but as a refugee being unable to change the 'previous nationality' passport. Could be fun.

husband received his passport on the 17th of November so less than 5 months from application - longest to wait was ceremony
