Same here, its been leaving me confused. Must be why my council was confused by my call too.

My council too, they have taken my name etc. and will get back to me..

Thanks for the screen shots T51820

Great information and Congratulations

Thanks T51820, Mine is totally different lols I thought they were all standard and the same :/ It seems your approval and invitation came as one. I just received Approval and it says Invitation to follow. Very strange that it is different but maybe it depends on the councils like some may be digita...

Thanks T51820,

Mine is totally different lols

Your letter of approval will have a number to call for your ceremony I was told. Call that number and then you are able to book it. Thanks Tangie, i think some of the letters are different as Mine (And I think PrarieSunflower's) says that a Invitation will come from council but if its not received ...

No Problem PrairieSunflower.

Thanks for your info as well which has been helpful.

This is from the new AN Guide

Effective after our applications, so it could be a switch over in rules on how this is done so we may be the guinea pigs caught in the middle.

RE: Ceremony Letters FYI: Interesting, from home office and not council, perhaps it has changed and some councils are on old rules and some on new.. I have contacted my council about it and am just awaiting a call back Page 26 of the AN Guide If your application is successful and you are living in t...

Hi T51820,

Ok, very interesting, mine says to contact UKVI on an email address if i have not received the letter within 2 weeks.

You are right, nothing to lose, I will give them a shout and see what they say and will let you know.

No, the approval letter says it could take 2 weeks; if nothing is received by then, I will contact them.

Post man has been and no Ceremony Letter's for us yet.

Been 1 Week and 1 Day.

Still within the 2 Week Time Frame so continuing to be patient

Still waiting

By Post Only

About the invitation letter from the council. I contacted the council about what their procedure is and have just received their call back. She confirmed it not their normal procedure to send out any letters as my Home Office letter tells me. I read her the portion of the letter that said NOT to co...

That's worrying

Thanks for the info, yes please keep us posted

Am also waiting for a ceremony letter.

Approval was dated 19 March; so a week today.
My Council definitely sends letters out so I will just be patient and only chase after the 2 week time period is up.

Good luck

Hi Amz,

Thanks for the response. I received an acknowledgement email but only addressed to myself and my Wife has not received one.
But I will keep an eye on the post and see if we receive a letter similar to your's.

I will then update the thread accordingly.
