Finally the journey is over for me!!

I had my private ceremony today in Luton.

Goodluck to everyone still waiting.

Finally got my invitation letter from HO last Thurs, dated 20th Aug. Next hurdle is trying to book ceremony with Luton Council, they are only doing private ceremonies for a measly £100, no virtual or group ceremonies in sight! You can only contact them by email, but getting them to reply is a challe...

Thank you They not charged me anything it’s free

WOW!!! Congrats.

Meanwhile Luton Council want £100 for the pleasure!!

What about all of us be united and ask a lawyer to take legal action in way of JR? JR is very important legal path to stop government of acting unlawfully. I think if all of us act together, I’m sure we will a clear timely manner solution and even compensation! I feel the government is discriminati...

I contacted the Home Office 10 days ago to let them know that my council has resumed private ceremonies and requested for an invitation letter to be sent to me and for my citizenship certificate to be sent to my council, as I'm willing to pay for a private ceremony and it can't be performed without...

I wanted to share a good news with all. I received an email from my local register office notifying me that private ceremonies are available M-F, cost of a £100. I think that's promessing. The only thing is my wife did not receive the document from home office yet other than a reply to my email 2 w...

Thank you for sharing your view. I agree, I was privileged and lucky enough to get mine in over two months, I am not even trying to hide that. But when I applied, I resigned to the fact that obtaining a nationality is a ‘privilege but not a right’. So, while I would have been frustrated if I didn’t...

I'm doing my research on appropriate Visa for my partner and i noticed this on HO website: "You’ll get permission to stay for 2.5 years, or for 6 months if you’re applying as a fiancé, fiancée or proposed civil partner. After this you’ll need to apply to extend your stay." Does this mean after the 6...

Hi guys, I currently have ILR (Refugee Protection) which I got in 2014 after the 5year Refugee status (2009). Intention was to naturalise a year after ILR but of cause the law changed (10 year Good Character Requirement). I am just wondering if I can get some help/advice to aid me in taking on chanc...

Thanks for your response

But did you mean entitled to register when the parent applies for british citizenship?

Afternoon guys, We are after a bit of info or pointer in the right direction. Here's the situ, my partner's had a son when she was a student (student visa) around 2004. The son (10 nw) went back to Zim and has been living there since. Now we both have iLR and are planning on applying for BC this yea...

@dgal @destiny2014 Thank you people.

My question to you is how long roughly do you think it took them to process the April applications

I think it is safe to say that the applications are now taking 4 months to be processed. And yes the BRP card came a day before the letter.


Good luck people

Wait continues.....keep you posted.

D4109125 thanks for the reply, regarding the info you provided does it not apply to the legal framework for a person still under the "5 year period" or about to apply for ILR?? My questions were more focused on the practical application as evidenced by past experiences. More like AFTER your have bee...

Hi guys i've been a silent observer over the years, and I must admit there has been an awfully lot of helpful people on this forum. Today I would like to pick your brains of ILR set protection: 1. After a person has been successfully granted ILR, are they still under protection? and therefore exempt...
