Hi,

I have received an invitation to citizenship ceremony from the council on the 23rd of May but nothing has come from the Home Office! is this common? shall I need to take actions?

Cheers

Very common.
Book your ceremony, you have been approved and the council has your certificate. UKVI email will follow. There’s always a delay.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.

Hi,

Please, is it still OK to not receiving the Home Office email after 11 days from receiving the ceremony invitation from the council?

I am asked to bring the following:
    your Home Office invitation letter
      photographic ID (for example a passport, driving licence or biometric residence permit)
        this confirmation email (i.e., council email)

        Should I do something as I need the Home Office invitation letter?

        Cheers

        Ask your council you don't have it yet and if it is ok to attend anyway.
        All advice comes from personal research and experience and should not be regarded as professional opinion.
