Hello there,
I've received an email from my local council (Essex) telling me that they've booked me into a group ceremony in January and to bring my 'letter from the Home Office confirming your citizenship'. I'm hoping this means that my application was successful (yay!!) but I haven't received anything (no letter/email) from the Home Office.

From what I gather, I will receive only an email (no physical letter). I've checked my spam folder but still can't find anything. Anyone can advice what email address this is sent from? Anyone else has gone through a similar situation?

Thanks

For anyone in a similar situation, I've received the approval email today (20 December) so only one working day after the one from the council.
