Once again. What is exactly written in invitation letter ? Thanks. Aside from the usual congratulatory platitudes, the invitation letter advises that you get in touch with the relevant local council within 21 days of the date of the letter, stating the address of the council building where the cere...

Thank you Baybars1 I understand that now. Does that mean they will revisit my file or delay it as when I received that email I panicked and I sent them another email asking them to clarify more on “external checks” Or shall I have a faith and wait few more weeks for letter to arrive. :( I doubt tha...

Hello everyone, I have been silent reader on this forum for few weeks. I was approved end of August and since than waiting for invitation letter. Last week I emailed CT casework team chasing for letter and they replied as below: “Thank you for your email. Your application currently awaiting the out...

Thank you. That would be nice.

Dear Baybars1, many thanks for your wonderful support and patience. It’s so much appreciated.

You are most welcome

I’m so happy to say, my invitation letter has arrived now. Dated 5th November. I have been approved 10 August. My certificate has arrived last week with my council and I have already booked a ceremony for beginning December. However as my last piece of puzzle is now completed I can book a private c...

Thank you @szrsrts @BGV Thank you @Baybars1 Thank you for making the model. My situation is a little different than others. I applied on 22nd June and got an approval letter in the POST today 14th Nov (dated 10th Nov). No email approval. Background: On 6th Nov, I received a UKVI survey email which ...

Hello all. I have not actually followed this thread previously. Please can someone who has been following this thread, be kind enough to give me a summary of what is happening with ceremonies. What is the average time for ceremonies after approval letter? Any other suggestions? Thank you Having mad...

Well done baybars1, You have been an immense help and encouragement to many (if not all) here including myself. I have been approved on 24th August 2020 and still waiting for the invitation letter. According to your model I am within the time that I should have received the Invitation Letter by now...

OMG!

Birmingham has sent me an invitation for a ceremony!

Date of Approval 10 August.

No HO letter yet.

Happy days!! So happy.

Congratulations! All the best.

Now that July, August and September 2020 approvals are receiving their invitations almost at the same time, the model I prepared in September is ready for retirement. However, the data in it may be useful for some future models and I am posting those here for the convenience of another data analyst....

guys does anyone know if homeoffice is still sending certificates to the councils or they have stoped because of lockdown??

The Home Office seem to be sending the certificates despite the new lockdown. In fact, they appear to have accelerated the process.

Interesting. I was approved on 13/08/20, but my certificate didn't arrive. Hammersmith and Fulham did not disclose the dates of the latest certificates (I asked thrice), but based on your information the cut is between 31/07 and 13/08. Based on what we have read on this forum so far, I very much do...

For me the naturalisation process is games of chances, it looks and feels like gambling.

They don't need gambling regulations. Abolishing ceremonies would do.

Hi much appreciated for your time and help. I will wait until Friday and call the council If I don't anything on Friday I will then write to home office. Do you know their nationallty department address? Please thank you. Here it is (they may have put the same on your approval letter): Home Office ...

Today my exact 12 weeks has been passed. Anyone has any recommendations what next step I should take ? Any help really appreciated. Thank you very much. You do have options to get more information, but there is no sure-way of accelerating the process, which in your case is now much delayed, given t...

I am still waiting for invitation when got approval email on 18th august and my friend who got approved two weeks later in sep got his invitation letter already few days ago. We are living in same town and have same council so it seem there is no proper order of sending the invitation Perhaps you c...

My certificate arrived last week - Hounslow council confirmed to my enquiry. Approval date Sep 8.. So stupid they’re not booking my ceremony until I receive the invitation letter.. I’m moving my home next week and no idea whom I should contact to update the address.. Your invitation may have alread...

I have just received a reply from the Home Office that my invitation letter was sent on 25th October. Also, I should let them know if I still haven’t received the letter yet. It is the first communication from the HO for more than three months. I will wait until tomorrow afternoon (post comes aroun...

Have you checked with the local council if they have received your certificate?

Something definitely went wrong with the mid to late August batch of certificates from comments here. Myself and hubby approved on 21st August 2020 and not heard anything till now. No invitation letter yet and when our local council got a big batch this week our certificates weren’t included. I wor...
