Oh !
That's something new !
Hopefully they will switch to this , so one will get rid of fear that paper letter won't be lost or miss delivered.

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Hi, guys.
Remind me please HO phone number , regarding citizenship.
I got an email ( response ) from Hounslow council, advising me contact HO as a matter of urgency, as they ( at the council ) have my certificate since 18.11.
I wrote an email to HO, but also I want to try my luck on the phone.

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Hi everyone .
Guys, can you inform me- which council provides ceremony without asking for an invitation letter ?
Surely, a couple weeks ago there was such news.
I will try to use that during discussion with my Hounslow council.
Approved on 18.08.
Certificate received by council on 18.11.

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Dear Cullinan.
I believe, they (at Hounslow ) just made a taping error. I don't even want write to them about it.
So advanced country as UK is , and such important thing as inviting new citizens - left to the mood of council workers ?

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

You see, that's frustrating. In the supermarket they try to reduce plastic in use. Banks encourage you to switch to paperless statements - to reduce paper in use. So why on Earth, HO can't send us just an e-mail ? Well, probably they are obliged to spend the cost of the envelope to justify the whole...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Baybars1, thanks a lot, mate.
That's exactly what I needed to know.
Including possibility changing the name(s) when applying for the first British passport.
I was thinking to do so, but seems like I will have to change first, my name in the country, issued original passport....
God bless, amigo.

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Hi, Cullinan. I am unlucky to be bonded to Hounslow council. No updates on their website about ceremonies ( last one- 14.08 ) and no facility to check on arrivals of the certificates, using your reference number. After every my email, I got a call from them, telling me that HO is extremely busy (wha...
