Very nice....received a brown envelope this morning, not my citizenship but something else that took me completely by surprise. I have been awarded a certificate
in Advanced level in Apprenticeship in social adult care.
I know that it has got nothing to do with this lovely forum
but what a surprise.

Thanks.
Little issue with place of birth. Instead of Town, they have mentioned state! Now I am wondering if this could be an issue?

UPDATE

booked appointment for ceremony on 15th April, looks like hillingdon council is not much busy
one slot was available tomorrow as well, but that was too early for me, so I confirmed the 15-April one

Enjoy Private ceremonies are relatively easier to get it seems, because many opt for free ceremony, but out of curiosity, is yours private?
