Missing the ceremony attendance deadline

[engrcj]

Hello, I hope you're well.

Has anyone faced or been facing this issue? Unfortunately, my deadline is this Sunday and I have not booked a ceremony.. I'm waiting for a call back from my council but it could take up to 72 hours... or next week.. I tried calling 0808 164 8810 to reach FurtherNationalityEnquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk but it was dedicated for the Ukraine Family Visa scheme. if anyone has gone through something similar, could anyone shed some light?

Thank you!!

Why haven't you booked a ceremony?

When did you receive approval?

Thanks CR001 for a quick reply

Personal reasons. It is my mistake I’m fully aware. Trying to deal with the consequence now.

Received the letter on 3rd June 2023

Just received a call from the council and they were able to book me in for the next week. I panicked too early!
It seems like there is a bit of a grace period like 2 weeks as the council officer said the deadline is the 16th Sep.

Anyone who hasn't booked your ceremony and reaching the 3-month period - call your council ASAP!
