Guys, thank you for all your help and answering any questions I've had. I will admit I've been quite nervous as I could clearly see people who applied after me were getting approved so made me think my application was held up for some reason, but it did eventually come through. Good luck for everyoneverty wrote: ↑Fri Feb 19, 2021 10:11 pmEligibility criteria: EU permanent resident (5 years to qualify) arrived in the UK in 2011.

(Sent to my UK address even though I've told them I am currently in the US for work purpose. A reminder letter was sent to the same address after I passed the deadline for submitting my biometric. I didn't realise those 2 letters had been sent until a PM exceptions staff sent me an email with a final reminder to enrol my biometric information on 18 July 2019. I informed him about the error with the correspondence address, so he very kindly corrected this mistake and allowed me to submit my biometrics information in the US)

Initially the booking system offered to book ceremony from 20th July to 27th July. I booked 27th July, and then it offered to reschedule it. I tried to do that and it offered to book between 25th May and 15th June. So I chose the earliest appointment. I haven't received the email confirmation, but the website link shows this CitizenshipAppointment. I hope I will get the Zoom link for the call, otherwise not sure how I'll join it.boyfromlv wrote: ↑Sun Feb 21, 2021 10:08 pmApplication Timeline
