Hi

I have received the approval letter, but the nearest appointment I can book is in Jan.
I called peterborough city council, they can book it quickly, I need to contact home office myself to transfer paper work from Cambridge city council to Peterborough Register office, I have written to citizenship.support@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk
How long will it take them to transfer my paper work?

Thanks
:shock:

If you change the location for your Citizenship ceremony, your designated Council will have to return your certificate to the Home Office and you will then have to wait for the HO to process the paperwork for the new Council.

You may have to wait some time for this to be processed and you are likely to lose the earlier slot with the new Council. :idea:

If you aren't able to wait, you may want to consider paying for a private ceremony.
