Re: General discussion on CSI and Settled Status. Big issues for people on the EEA-Applications Routes

Hi folks, I've been pouring over pages after pages of guidance, blogs, and the 19 pages of discussions on this forum regarding applying for British citizenship as an EU citizen (Swedish), but I must admit to getting more and more confused by the second...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

If you have received your approval via email, then in the body of that email it states: "If you have received this email in error, please notify us via xxx@homeoffice.gov.uk" I suggest you contact that email (it can vary by which team manages your approval) if your invitation is late and your counci...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

For those who had the ceremony online... How was it? What questions do they ask? I read they first ask you where you are. That means you cannot have the online ceremony if you are abroad. You must be in UK to attend a virtual ceremony also. And do you have to be in your home address for the virtual...
