Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Invitation letter received! Approval was middle of June and the date on the letter is 23rd September, which gives me like 3 working days of leeway to book the ceremony lol (it states 21 days from the date on the letter which seems a little tight to me all things considered). I'll phone Brent counci...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Hi, My certificate arrived today and I was able to book in a ceremony at Brent. I was booked in for the 29th of October 2020, nothing before that unless I pay £135 for a private ceremont during week days or £175 for a weekend which is outrageous. I guess I have to wait 3 more weeks for the certific...

Hi,

Just called Brent, and they said they don't have my certificate even though I have my invitation letter 😥

They said they are getting a batch on Tuesday or Wednesday but I don't know.

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

To be honest, I was happy that my model predicted the date of ceremony letter for sole June approval where the dat...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

I just called Brent and they informed me that have not received a batch in months and the one they received was for April and may!!

Very contradicting information as I was informed almost every week that they were getting a batch on a weekly basis 😯
