Hi all, My wife recently got her UK citizenship and subsequently applied for her first UK passport. She received her new UK passport after several weeks, however the citizenship certification and foreign passport she needed to apply with were never returned. Does anyone know of a number/email addres...

Hello, Realised that I'd made a mistake when completing my wife's citizenship form, I used two referees who are related. I was somewhat distracted during this part of the application and submitted it without realising the error; only caught it when I was preparing the forms for the referees to sign....
My MiL had her ceremony scheduled for 10/12, however two weeks ago she received a letter that she was being instead offered a virtual ceremony to take place today. It was very quick and easy, and the end result is that the MiL is finally a British citizen. Now just need to wait for the certificate t...
Hello all, My MiL is a bit concerned now that she hasn't received anything from her council (Bucks). She was approved on 03/06/20 - as per the HO letter. Based on the formula she surely should've received something by now? We've tried contacting the council but they've not been particularly helpful....
Anyone here from Buckinghamshire (Bucks) Council. I know my case was approved only recently (7th September) compared to many others on this forum who have been waiting for much longer, but thought it would be worth checking if someone is from my council and what's the trend there. We're in Bucks, g...
In light of the different info and approach by the various councils, my MiL sent an email to her council (Bucks) and they said that they still don't have her certificate, however they said that the HO is indeed printing them again.
I just chased up our local council for my MiL (Bucks) and they don't have her certificate yet or any info as to if they're receiving them - but they are doing virtual ceremonies.
Bucks council has just updated their page as well: Citizenship Ceremonies Update Group and Private Ceremonies have been suspended. As an alternative, we are offering one-to-one appointments so that citizens can receive their certificates. The appointments will take place in person at the Register Of...

MiL is from a non-English speaking country, who knows? Hopefully the system/caseworker/ghost in the machine will exercise sound judgement when they see the case.
Apologies for the multiple posts not under the same topic, me eyes have gone square after staring at the forms all day. We've already filled everything out and submitted it online. Thanks for the helpful suggestion re. a cover letter etc, I've done that and uploaded them to the UKVCAS site. I did no...
We uploaded my MiL's application for naturalisation, however just realised we forgot to indicated that she is exempt from knowledge of English and the Life in the UK exam due to her age.
Hi all, I'm about to submit my MiL's citizenship application. She was previously granted ILR under t he EU settled status scheme and has been living continuously since 2010. Just curious - as she has already been granted ILR, when she submits her citizenship application does she need to re-submit al...
Hi - thanks for the responses. No, not my spouse. My mother-in-law. She has an EU passport and in March of last year requested settled status after being here since 2010, she lives with us. Settled status/right to remain was granted in March and as per the scheme all she got was an email notificatio...
Just anxious to get my family member's application for citizenship underway. She received settled status in March 2019 (the document was received on 14/03/19).
Does she need to wait 12 months to the day that she received the document, or can she apply slightly earlier?
