A little late, but the letter is hit and miss, we've been waiting. for 18 months now, been to London numerous times and just told get in touch with Home Affairs, there were also 5 others the first time we went in the same boat, think hard about losing your citizenship, some get the letter quickly ot...

Some receive an approval/ Ceremony letter with the contact details on to book your Ceremony, and some get approval letter and informed a Ceremony invite letter will arrive shortly, I've never heard of council sending a date to attend?

Passport only comes aftre the citizenship ceremony has been attended.

23 days post ceremony is mentioned by OP, Did the Passport fee get deducted? Get in touch with council.

Oh no. This is not good. But i have noticed that once the passport fee is deducted i havent seen any rejections. So looks like passport fee deduction is positive sign. But we don't see many rejections in the first place. Most people either get accepted, or never post again (so we don't know how the...

Call their helpline would be best course of sction.

You have fulfilled your side and entrusted the post office, you have all the necessary proof, so don't be concercened.

We were the same, never supplied anything for NCS appointment, it wasn't relevant at the time, July 2017, it was non EU application the officer said.

Request a ceremony outside the UK If you’re not living in the UK, you can ask to have your ceremony at the embassy or consulate in the country you’re living in. Bad idea if you are not the spouse nor civil partner of a British citizen, as your future intentions would be in doubt. Just quoting from ...

Request a ceremony outside the UK If you’re not living in the UK, you can ask to have your ceremony at the embassy or consulate in the country you’re living in. If you’re only abroad for a few months, you might be asked to postpone the ceremony until you return to the UK. If you’re planning to be aw...

Why not request a copy from employer, we did and got a copy next day.

No just standard procedure. No indication of approval.

Sorry how do you mean by mistake?

People have received approval letter but not ceremony invite letter, when they contacted Home office the letter was issued by mistake and the application was still ongoing, very rare though, as I said contact them for an update to where letter is.

Our council sent an email to confirm, with details etc. They call you in to check your details before you go into ceremony. Usually refreshments before and after, and a passport holder for your new British passport, if the council is generous

I've read on here letters have been issued by mistske. Might be worth emailing Home office.

I have applied for naturalization via Abingdon ncs on 11/04/2018 and still haven’t received any acknowledgement form from the home office and no money has been taken , should I get concerned ?

Can take 4 weeks to get acknowledgement. Sometimes things take a while.

Unlike visa applications under the Immigration Rules, the granting of British citizenship is a privilege and not a right. It is granted at the sole discretion of the Home Secretary with no right of appeal (only re-consideration). Challenging the delay would be pointless. Can the head of state grant...

Hi Kurabor, thanks surprisingly I got the approval letter today, after 17 months ;) you could do a SAR on your records to see if they got everything in order, it could help thanks and good luck, letter will come through eventually ! Wow!! That's amazing news :) Many congrats! What are your observat...

Thanks Jadoom, I emailed them Thursday last week. So will see if I get a response. Do you have any rough idea how long they take to reply ? Cheers Hi Gondal 1987 ((Citizen.support @)) email takes about 5 days and other email which start from( nationalitysupport @) some time they reply same days or ...

@stillondedams You are referring to the delay in processing visa applications. :idea: Unlike visa applications under the Immigration Rules, the granting of British citizenship is a privilege and not a right.

Hi, went to the NCS today and I didn't take my previous passport so I'll have to go again tomorrow. My current passport starts on the 17th of September 2015 and my last one ends on the 19th of January 2015, so there's an 8 month gap there. Now in 2015, I took my AS-Levels, so I'm going to take my c...

If you read back through timelines etc, Home office send two types combined Approval/ Ceremony letter and approval and separate invite. Pointless I know.

some get a decision in a month, and some take a year or more, no glove fits all. It takes as long as it takes.

Thanks a lot for your advice. I have sent an email to that address. I have a ceremony booked on the 14 Dec so I really need it by then. Just to provide an update for other people who may be in a similar situation. I emailed the citizenship support email address and they replied within 4 working day...

Ask questions on here and NCS a lot cheaper than lawyers. But it's your money.

Surely DX should return to the property where it was delivered? It's useless to the recipient, and I thought they would of returned or informed the relevant authority.
