Applied On: 03/09/2018

Awaiting On Approval: letter sent 01/04/2019 and got it today 03/04/19
Date of Ceremony: pending

Can't believe I received my letter today, I thought that it was cutting it too closely. Now just have to wait to see if I will be part of the April ceremony (will send my cheque on Friday) :)

BTW for those going to the next ceremony, what sort of time does it state that it starts? (Have to travel down from Galway, so am wondering if I need an overnight stay since it's not that easy to get to for me)
