Not sure why HO assigned your ceremony to a random council unless you have mistakenly/unknowingly checked the box to the affirmative that you are okay to have your ceremony in a different council. If you want to have your ceremony in your local council,(which is different to the one HO assigned your...

Re: Online Application vs Paper Application

I think it is a bit unfair on yourself to rely on the checking done by the council, as even then, they can still make mistake. So my candid advice is to do your home work, research, ask question, be honest, and you will be amazed how smoothly the process will be. I used the on-line form and applied ...

Re: Criminal conviction

Re: further photos needed for the passport application

As said severally on lots of threads on this forum, your BC application is different from your passport application.

HMPO requesting you to submit new passport photograph will have no impact on your BC application as that is handle by HO UKVI department.
