Did your status say decided online or awaiting decision when you got your letter ??
I’ve sent them payslips and P60, Counsil tax, PR, Test results and criminal screening from home , passport and a few other bits. should that be enough you think ?

The approval letter well ours was a single slip of paper containing approval and council contact details to book a ceremony, once booked council emailed letter to us, just bring the email, home office letter and passport or driving licence to the ceremony, there was no waitng for approval letter or council invite.AdInfernos wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 10:07 amhussainfarhad wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 12:33 amInferno let's hope our invitation letters drop on the post soon.. my one is due since the 9th of November when my case was decided
Yes. When you receive the approval letter you think, "well, that's it". But no, now comes the wait for the invitation letter and, possibly, later, for the passport.
Anyway, it's not clear to me whether the invitation letter comes from the home office or the council. I don't understand why both approval and invitation letters come together for some people whereas for others it seems to be a separate process.
There are two types of letters.mrgs1 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 10:39 amThe approval letter well ours was a single slip of paper containing approval and council contact details to book a ceremony, once booked council emailed letter to us, just bring the email, home office letter and passport or driving licence to the ceremony, there was no waitng for approval letter or council invite.
Yes I had read before it is a lottery who gets what. That's why my reply was "Well ours " when it could be a choice. Single letter makes most sense, less hassle.CR001 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 10:47 amThere are two types of letters.mrgs1 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 10:39 amThe approval letter well ours was a single slip of paper containing approval and council contact details to book a ceremony, once booked council emailed letter to us, just bring the email, home office letter and passport or driving licence to the ceremony, there was no waitng for approval letter or council invite.
1. Combined approval and ceremony letter.
2. Approval letter and separately a ceremony invite letter.
Who gets which is random selection, possibly based on area/postcode. For the second option, most usually have to wait for the invite letter.
There must be a reason for this. I contacted my council today and they don't have my certificate. Tomorrow it will be two weeks from my approval. However, the approval letter arrived in just 4 days. A combined letter here would have been of no use.CR001 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 10:47 amThere are two types of letters.mrgs1 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 10:39 amThe approval letter well ours was a single slip of paper containing approval and council contact details to book a ceremony, once booked council emailed letter to us, just bring the email, home office letter and passport or driving licence to the ceremony, there was no waitng for approval letter or council invite.

As I said, likely based on post code/area and also possibly Royal Mail/deliveries/couriers or whatever method certificates are sent.AdInfernos wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 5:12 pmThere must be a reason for this.

That's curious, the lady gave the impression it was printed by the council, the words were " I'll just check my spreadsheet, Its on system ready to print" I assumed it was sent electronically to them?CR001 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 5:18 pmAs I said, likely based on post code/area and also possibly Royal Mail/deliveries/couriers or whatever method certificates are sent.AdInfernos wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2017 5:12 pmThere must be a reason for this.
