Re: Passport tracking number

I have not received any sms/email with consignment number. Thanks very much for the clarification, The HMPO did not explain any of this to me in their em...

Not sure. Maybe. Maybe not. Some cases the passport is just delivered without tracking. Due to corona the system is a bit lagged anyways.
Thanks very much for the detailed info, Have a lovely evening.

this is the third week waiting for the certificate to arrive after getting my invitation letter... guess No certificate for me until the lockdown is over, Would councils in London continue citizenship ceremonies during the second lockdown?

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Well I started to lose patience so I decided to give the Home Office a call which has left me even more frustrated! After waiting for 45 minutes to be connected (not even exaggerating!) some man picked up and he was absolutely not interested in what I had to say. I did not call to shout at him or a...

Wow received mine today 10.10.2020, approval email 12.06.2020, letter dated 22.09.2020. They are a bit cheeky with that 21 day booking deadline since that is going to be Monday... My council specifically asks for booking requests to be done via email, they don't provide a phone number so fingers cr...

So far, they only received certificates for people who were approved in March/early April (I was approved back in May). It seems like the HO isn't sending t...

I don’t understand what the rise of Covid-19 case has to do with printing invitation letters and certificates? Print and send them and let the councils handle the ceremonies. Does HO think that councils are incompetent and unable to follow the guide lines?? If there is a will, there is a way: virtu...

There are people who got approved since May who are still wai...
