Citizenship ceremony booking without HO invitation

Post by amehmood04916 » Mon Nov 20, 2017 11:13 am

Dear all
I applied 19.05.17 and after long wait finally Got decided on 06.11.2017 Appeared online 07.11.17. I waited 10 days for the HO Approval letter but nothing came. I emailed My local council with all my details and they replied same day that they have received my certificate and requested me to book a ceremony using reference number from my HO initiation letter. I replied back and told them that I have not received any letter yet. The registrar replied as follow
''Email back with a telephone number where can contact you today and we will ring you back to book you on to a ceremony. I would also in the meantime contact the Home Office advise you have not received their letter. You can attend a ceremony without it, but we would need to you to definitely bring your Photo I.D. ( passport/D/licence etc and may be a bill/bank statement to confirm your address''

SO I booked a private ceremony on 23.11.2017 using reference letter I used to check my online status with the addition of Zero at the start.
Hope this will help other members who are waiting for the letter. I will update after ceremony attendance
Thanks

My application was approved on 07/11 and because I haven't received the invitation so far, this morning I have contacted Edinburgh City Council and they have confirmed that my certificate has not been received. They have told me that they receive a batch of certificates every Tuesday afternoon and that I can call on Wednesday to check again.

So basically no news after two weeks of the approval.

Very useful. Thank you.

I am also waiting for the letter after my online status was updated on 15th Nov.

I applied through Leeds NCS so I may try what you suggested if the letter hasn't come through by the end of the week.

Please do provide an update after your ceremony. Congratulations, and thanks!

This is NOT a 'application status check' topic. There is a dedicated topic for such posts.
