Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Tell them there's been a mistake as the Home Office has already confirmed 4 months ago that the paperwork for all applications approved up to August 2020 had been printed and processed. Therefore no one is likely to be working on your application and hence you'd like it to be investigated. Yeah, I ...

Re: Not heard of Certificate in 7mo since approval

Update: Still didn't receive a reply, but at least there is a faint hope of getting one. I called UKVI at 0300 790 6268 and they said I should try contacting the Home Office again, and if I get no reply in 20 working days, they will involve someone higher up. I don't know why trying to contact the ...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Hi, I had this problem. Apparently the HO forgot to print the paperwork for some applications. You should call the Home Office helpline and ask them to escalate your case as you've been waiting for 8 months and your invitation letter still hasn't arrived. If they tell you to wait, respond that back...

Re: Not heard of Certificate in 7mo since approval

If you're going to ask your MP to help don't wait 20 working days. If the MP writes a letter to the HO then that's another 20 working days so you're going to end up waiting another 8 weeks for a response. I didn't, I contacted my MP long before the 20 days after the HO complaint, it just took a whi...

By the way, there is one more way to reach them. If you send an email to NationalityEnquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk they reply with an automated email attaching a form to fill in, and then gives you a second email to send the form to.
