How to book the ceremony

Post by ARPHskp » Thu May 17, 2012 1:28 pm

It might seem very simple thing. But how do book ceremony as I rang liverpool council (telephone number given on HO letter) and they said wait for register officer letter as they will contact you with ceremony date etc.

Yes Masryman for sure!

It was written that this is BC invitation to attend a ceremony as my application got approved and I have to book for the ceremony within 21 days since the application was dated as mine was dated on 9 may and I received it today.

also they printed my full name, DOB and place of birth these will be shown in my citizenship certificate. (this is very important to be checked just in case there is wrong then you have to contact UKBA to correct you name in the BC ceriticate. but even if soemthing wrong when they print your name you have to attend the ceremony.

You have to bring your invitation with you when you attend the ceremony as an evidence; without this you cant not attend the ceremony plus ID card or your original passport as they need identification with your name and photo on it.

you will have to numbers in the letter, HO number which completely different from what you got in the acknowledgment letter and a number is called cover number which I think the number of my invitation.

Goodluck Masryman and I am sure you will get it soon with others applicants in this forum! :)

there shud be online status

Post by ilrbuddy1 » Thu May 17, 2012 2:50 pm

in last 6 years i had to apply visas number of times.. sometimes for hsmp, sometimes for tier 1, sometimes for ILR and sometimes for my dependents. this is hopefully last time i m applying for citizenship.

all of my applications were straightforward and therefore went successful.

But i don't know why everytime i found this waiting time as if it is killing me and everyone else on the forums.

I think the reason is there is no online status check on the progress; having no visibility just makes people kind of psycho. then they go on asking funny questions... how does the approval envelope look like :)... what is written in the letter...

I dont think the term pshyco is good one everyone in the forum are waiting and waiting is a killer some people wonder why the procces takes all that time what uf something wrong qhy havent they replyed wots wrong of my app why they apprived someone applied after me what if my app is lost in ho or lost in mail what if they tried contacting me and lost in procces you cannot vendict people who are lookibg farward for something thar seems important for some and thats a forum of disscution and sharing thoughts and experiance so asking silly questions is permissable taking into account the amount of time people has to wait to hear the news
Good luck for all

It was mentioned in my invitation letter that I have to contact the register office within 21 days to book for ceremony.....I called them yesterday but no one picked up the phone then I sent them an email to book for private ceremony but no reply till now I am waiting. but UKBA did not mention that I have to wait for register office letter for ceremony, because mine is approval and invitation letter in the same sheet. as I have to numbers in this letter.
