Citizenship ceremony date: pending (Birmingham City Councils suggests that we wait and not contact them for citizenship ceremony) They write "It can sometimes take several weeks for us to receive your certificate from the Home Office, even if you have received their invitation letter. We will not contact you until we receive your certificate".

This forum has been a great support, so many thanks to you (and the moderators) for keeping this forum active and alive - a labour of love indeed.
My very best wishes to all who have been waiting for their approvals.
