I was wondering when will I be able to receive my invitation for the citizenship ceremony.

Here is my timeline since I sent out my application;

Sent Application form: MAY 17 2017

Biometrics Enrolment Email: MAY 26 2017
Online Biometrics Payment: MAY 27 2017

Track - Awaiting a decision: MAY 25 2017
Track - Decided: AUGUST 9 2017
Return of Documents (Passport & Birth Cert) AND Successful application letter: AUGUST 22 2017
Invitation to Ceremony: ???

^ does anyone have a clue how long it usually takes until I receive the letter?

Hi,

Could you please update your timeline in this thread:

I also applied in May but have heard nothing so far. Are you EU or non-EU?

Thanks!

The OP has clearly stated in his topic that this is a UKF application and not a normal form AN application.

Please only post in this topic to update a UKF form application timeline.

Hi Blanksphere

Did you send your DNA test together with your application or waited that they request for one?

Thanks.

Was wondering if someone could help me out. I have 3 months left on my tier 5 youth mobility visa in the UK but am eligible to apply for citizenship through the UKF process. What happens when my visa runs out and Im still waiting to hear word on my application? Am I able to get some sort of extension that allows me to continue to work in the UK while waiting for the citizenship to come through?? Thanks
