Ok ola. What you hv done makes sense. Hope it does not take too long for them to make the correction. Keep us updated.

Thanks ola. I eventually got my invitation letter a week and a half after the approval letter. When i called the council i was told the next available date is 31st october. I hv booked it but was also toying with the idea of whether to cancel and go private. Eventually i thought it wasnt worth the e...

I can't blv my council do public ceremonies every week and i have to wait almost a month! They must be very busy. I am sticking to public as I dont think the private one is worth me spending an extra 150 quid.

thanks very much

I am now almost 100% sure I will stick to the public ceremony on 31st October. I guess I will have to arrange to take the morning off.

i was told it start at 10am. now that you mention it, it is unclear to me if that is the ceremony or registation. i guess i will know more when i rcv the written confirmation in due couse. will keep you posted.

ceremony will be at camden council.

manyaonisland, thanks for your comments which is of great help. is it compulsory to stay for the networking, snacks afte rthe ceremony or are you free to leave if you wish? as my ceremony is starting at 10am, i am hoping i can be at work by noon or latest 12:30 if i only decide to take a the morning...

thanks electricorange, that is really useful. to be honest i am not really in a hurry for the british passport as i will be travelling to my home country in december and will not be giving up my original nationality so i will be able to travel on my hold passport. i wont need the british passport fo...

£115 @ Kingston (Surry) The decision you should make really depends on what are your travel plans (if any)? If possible, try to make it to public ceremony as it gives you great feeling to be there with the group and get handed certificate from dignitary :idea: . On top of it does not cost you anyth...

are you guys going private?

thanks. i am planning to take a week and a half off work in october but i doubt i will travel. i had planned to take the week and a half anytime from now upto 26th october as i need to be back in office 29 october onwards since another colleague might be on holiday that week. i was hoping i could ge...

wow, that is steep. i will sleep on it and decide tomorrow what i will do. it would also be interesting to know what ceremony you recommend from experiences.

So today I finally rcvd my ceremony invitation letter almost 2 weeks after my approval letter. Called my local council to book my ceremony but unfortunately the next available date is 31st October. Whilst I have booked this date tentatively, I am toying with the idea of whether or not to go for a pr...

further my last, just heard from my other half that my letter arrived at home today. i will call the council shortly.

the approval letter i got is different from yours as it says that it is not an invitation letter to the ceremony, that will follow and if i don't rcv it within 2 weeks of the date of the letter (2 weeks will be tomorrow), i should send them to an email to the address provided. it also states i shoul...

it's been a week and a half since i rcvd my approval letter and still no sign of my invitation letter from the ceremony

I find it really appalling that not one of the moderators has commented on the issues raised. They were quick to change the name of topics and delete posts, however when challenged they seem to disappear (though posting in other topics). What's going on guys?

Tomorrow will be a week since a rcvd my approval letter and still no sign of the invitation letter for the ceremony. Should I be worried?

they were "clubs" not "timelines only". no one asked you to make this change

with due respect and If I may say so........I can appreciate a main and sticky topic of timelines which should be restricted to timelines only........but I think the idea of the individual monthly topics(which strictly are not timelines rather than properly named "clubs") are much nicer/friendlier ...

No, but because the monthly timeline topics are for "timelines" only. I was of the impression that this applies only to the general naturalisation sticky and discussions could take place in the monthly club topics? If what you are saying is the case, why did it take the moderators all this time to ...

pepene, from what i understand you get the certificate on the day of the ceremony so you should be able to apply for passport via check and send on the same day. i am actually thinking of doing the same cheers kel, well dude i really hope u get urs soon coz i know the anxiety experienced! :) wont b...
