For those who attended their ceremony, would they please confirm if the reference on the approval letter is the same as in the certificate?

Thanks

It was the same on mine - but in 2016....

Thanks for confirming

I quite don't get it. Late August and September approvals got their invitations but June July early August still waiting. It doesn't make any sense at all. No, it doesn’t. And I find it upsetting and will include this into my formal complaint I’m doing the next days with or without invitation anywa...

Hi

Just a quick update for those whom are in Cheshire East; called the council, been informed that they’re resuming ceremonies and won’t be stopping.

Good luck to all

Hi Everyone

Any September approvals received invitation or certificates yet?

Thanks

Stockport council. Approved 7th of July. Never got any letter, and my council does not have my certificate. Today the council has informed me that ceremonies are suspended again. Oh well. At this rate my 6 months will expire, and I will absolutely not be surprised if I lose my citizenship because t...

I think the whole thing is running out of control and mismanaged big time.

Not sure how would the HO would clear the backlog abd at the same time expecting a complete lockdown to be announced next Monday.

Hello Everyone

Anyone from Crewe, East Cheshire council?

Approval 7 July 2020, just received a call from my local council for a Ceremony this coming Tuesday

Congrats

Have they mentioned anything about the invitation letter?

Hi Everyone Having the backlog cleared for up to the 7th August by end of this week is really great news! However am just wondering what would be the situation for the late August, September and early October approvals; are they going to wait till 2021 to get their invitation letters??? Also am not ...

I called Home Office this morning, the lady told me, all Ceremony letters will be posted by 30th October. Let's hope, its true.

That’s great news. As in all of the approved cases?

Thanks CR001 for your respond

I’ve applied via solicitor and she actually advised me to do so.

Quiet frustrating to be honest, especially that I came up to know that it’s rare someone submitted their application by post.

Is there anyway to check if the HO has received the application?

Thanks
