Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Hi, I was approved on 21 OCT and last week I noticed that my council Wandsworth had my certificate by checking online but I haven't received my invitation letter yet. Royal Mail in Wandsworth (SW18) has severe delays, last week didn't get to see any postman. However, I did email my council and they...

Hi folks, I received my approval decision letter on 8 October 2020 by email (attached PDF). I was under the assumption that the invitation that we are all waiting for would also come by email, however, I am reading here about a "brown envelope" – are you guys telling me that the invitation comes vi...

Is there anyone who has update from Wandsworth Council regarding ceremony. I called them around 10:00am and the guy in telephone told me to email them to book virtual ceremony and that there are around 160 people are waiting for their ceremony. I might be 161th. Anyways, anyone recently did ceremony...

Hi, My approval was also on 27 OCT 2020 but I am also still waiting for a ceremony invitation letter. I am also from Wandsworth Council. Maybe HO sent the invitation letter and it is lost in the post as in BBC news that SW18 is included royal mail affected area https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-5...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Can someone point me to the Baysbar model link. My personal view is that Baysbar model doesn't work anymore, It feels like it stopped working after September approvals. I think some fellow members who got approved via email are exceptions including CULLINAN. It does look like his model worked but I...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

It may be because council doesn't has availability Home office is not sending the invitation letter/certificate ? I am not sure what other reason might prevent them sending the invite unless they are still doing some background checks. Nobody knows the process so we might be just guessing to be hon...
