Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

"I have a funny feeling HO are playing a game" I agree. What is so hard about printing and sending a letter and a certificate? I wonder if the aim here is to lower the number of citizenships granted so it looks good on immigration statistics and the books of the current HO management. It appears th...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

I do not get it, what's their problem with the virtual ceremony? Just put a smartphone/laptop in front of the guy who reads the script, run a Microsoft teams meeting and in half an hour 250 ceremonies sorted. Repeat a few times and you are in thousands.

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

What we learned through this process is to develop some patience. At first I was upset with this ridiculous wait but now I accepted the situation as there is nothing we can do about it. What concerns me the most though, is that there are time limits when we must partake in ceremony, half a year from...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Maybe we should all start sending our struggle with HO to the major tv news channels and have it taken over by them as we may end up worst than windrush generation. That's a really good idea! It's a lot of us now who have to suffer their co#k-ups in silence, the media could be a good starting point...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

I lost any hope for my ceremony. The second wave of COVID19 is gaining momentum in Europe and the UK, which means that fairly soon they will put all these ceremony shenanigans on hold for a while. I guess we'll get our citizenship post-mortem
