Naturalization Query

Hi,

I applied for naturalization on 25 October 2019. Appointment is at Croydon and done with Biometric on same day. On 26 November 2019 I got Citizenship Ceremony letter. On same day I went for holiday for 3 weeks and just returned yesterday and saw the letter. Now I also booked for ceremony in January 2020. I'm surprised without approval letter/receipt how they sent ceremony invitation? I'm afraid is the process is going correctly??

Did I miss the approval letter? Please guide me am I in the right track?

Thanks.

Are you talking about the ceremony invitation letter sent by HO or the council?

You receive two letters. One from the HO and one from the council. Sometimes the letter sent by HO is received earlier than the council or vice versa.

HO issues two types of letters. Sometimes the approval and the ceremony invitation letter is combined in one letter. Sometimes you receive two separate letters.
