Hi all,
I would like to ask just to find out if anyone got similar experience?
Me and my wife both applied together in May, and 4 of my other colleagues also applied in the same month, all got their approval letters in July beginning, happy bunnies except myself, 3 got their ceremonies dones and passport received also. I got my approval letter in July end but it is very different to other 5 applicant's approval letters. (I do appreciate approval is an approval, doesn't matter if different).
1. My approval letter talks about HO keeping my Life in the UK test certificate, while I never submitted with my application, as it was online application and via new system we scan and upload and get docs checked at appointment.
2. It also claim all they are returning all the documents submitted with this approval letter as they all the information has been noted and they do not need to see them again. But as I said above in point 1 I never submitted anything so no point of getting back.
3. It says not to contact local council for ceremony, invite will be received within 3 weeks. (But on 11th day I did chase up council and they said they have not received my certificate yet. Registrar said normally they receive it within 3-5 days of the date on approval letter but nothing for me)
4. My address on approval is in different format than my wife's. Though application reference and my name is correct.
I strongly feel my certificate is lost in post from Home office to my local council. This could be due to carelessness of the case worker, or Royal mail etc. If I chase up Home office for this they will ask me to wait for 3 weeks from the date on approval letter, Wednesday next week. But just to be ready for worst case I would like to have some advice please.
Thanks in advance
