Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Myself including a couple more who were approved in November (myself approved 10th Nov) received the ceremony invitations in December. Lucky? I would like to give a little background about my case. I applied on 22nd June and went for dual submission on 25th Sep (initially submitted via IDV on 28th ...

Hi All, Finally, I received invitation letter via email. The date on the letter shows 23rd December and advice to allow 10 days to receive it. Do you know why I still not receive it via post? Do the council accept the copy of the email? Or they need the letter? Hey Congrats!! Could you please tell ...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

I am wondering whether the HO (Liverpool?) is open during this lockdown! In order to print the certificates and post them is a tedious job and requires a lot of manpower. Given the restrictions, I wonder whether (1) HO stuff are required/allowed to come to the office - if NO, then forget about the c...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Yes, I also think October approvals are caught in the middle. It seems HO has mostly cleared until Sept approvals (by post method). and Nov approvals onward are getting the email invitations. Peculiar Home Office as always!

Re: **** COVID19 Biometrics appointments and UKVCAS ***** (Discuss here ONLY)

Hi All, Just my two pence - Applied Sept 3rd, IDV upload Sept 12. Got the approval email 21st Oct. Only used the IDV, did not go for in-person submission ( aka dual submission). There are few others similar to my timescale. So, if you applied only through IDV, I don't think there is anything to pani...

Re: IDV indeed works! Have faith on it.

by e-mail only. I dont think they will send anything by post. Asked me to wait up to 12 weeks for ceremonial letter from the local council. I guess it will take longer than the application itself! Let's see.
All the best!

IDV indeed works! Have faith on it.

Hello all, I thought it may be useful for some of you who worry about IDV app's functionality. I applied for naturalisation on 3rd Sept and got the invitation for IDV to submit my biometrics. Like many here I did not go for double submission (i.e. by Sopra too) route and waited patiently. After 5 we...

Re: Applying for Naturalisation (for me) and ILR (spouse) at the same time

Thanks Both! That's very reassuring to know that I will keep my passport+BRP at all times (mostly).
CR001: Many thanks for reconfirming. As the issue in hand spans the ILR+Naturalisation horizon, I had to choose one sub and this one is probably more relevant.

Applying for Naturalisation (for me) and ILR (spouse) at the same time

Hello everyone I am in a bit of tangled situation, hopefully some of you can shed some light. I just applied online and paid for my naturalisation (tier-2 + ILR). As part of my application I think I have to upload a few documents - certainly Passport +BRP. Also I think I need to book an appointment ...
