I got my nationality approval email on 30th November 2020 but hadn't received any correspondence from the Home Office since then. I then actually emailed the nationality casework decision service, the address of which was in the email I received with the decision. In my case this was CT3CaseworkEnquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk. Please note that this will be different depending from case to case. I got a reply within 2 hours with the pdf of my invitation letter, the date printed on the letter is 10th February and I haven't received it yet. It was also stated on the email that I should wait till 17th March for the letter. Hope this info helps

you still have to wait for the physical letter on the post? why not the pdf they sent you?

I'm not sure because my council hasn't received my certificate either. I had mentioned this in the email, now even if i assume the pdf is enough, they still want me to wait for the certificate to come in to the council

it's all so confusing.. all councils seem to do this differently , some they want the letter. some don't and the HO doesn't help either.
The email that came with my decision letter attached doesn't even have an email to reply to, it says do not reply to that email because it won't be monitored . It's not a CTcasework email either. So I don't have the option to email anyone if I wanted to ask the whereabouts of my invitation letter

Mine didn't have the above though. It was pretty much a blank email with the attachment. The only content was:

"This email and any files transmitted with it are private and intended
solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
If you have received this email in error please return it to the address
it came from telling them it is not for you and then delete it from your system.

DEAR ALL RESPECTED MEMBERS.

I have an inquiry if anyone has any idea please.

I have got my naturalisation approval on 23-10-2020. However after that I had a driving offence and went to court got 5 points and £53 fine to pay.

I’ve informed the home office about the offence and they’ve put my invitation letter and certificate on hold as they were waiting for the outcome of the offence.

Furthermore I have received an email yesterday with a new approval dated 02-03-2020. I’m glad and happy they’ve applied discretion as I’ve never had any criminal convictions before.

My question do I have to wait again for 12 weeks or they will send the invitation letter and certificate sooner.

Kind regards

HO doesn’t work to any trends the only thing is to assume they will send it in 12 weeks but remember anything is possible

Does anyone have an idea of the waiting times for Cambridge? My application was approved last week and I don't know how long I'll be waiting for the invitation...

Hi all,


I have applied for BC on the first week of August 2020, Iand I have received the email dissension on 29 sep 2020.

The email explains that the letter of the invitation of the ceremony could take up to 12 weeks., but now it's more than 30 weeks and no letters received.

I emailed the nationality enquiries and an automatic reply saying the ceremony letters all processed up to 15 November 2020.

I have tried to call the home office but no one has reply,

I have also contacted the local council and the reply was we haven't received any letters with your info.

My MP never reply to my email or answer the calls

Any advice to my case?

Thanks
