anyone waiting on their council that does not have virtual ceremony and has cancelled in person ceremonies for the lockdown? I'm waiting on Greenwich Council who confirmed that there have no plans for new ceremony bookings (group or private) until end of Feb due to lockdown. No virtual option on ...

I have now received my ceremony invitation.

Approval Date: 23 October 2020
Date on the invitation letter: 30 December
Received on: 13 January (letter says I should use the details within 21 days of date above)

I strongly suspect that these letters are printed in batches and not posted right away.

Silent reader here. I just got my approval this morning and wanted to add my two cents (my timeline is at https://www.immigrationboards.com/british-citizenship/naturalisation-application-processing-timelines-only-t80616-11480.html#p1952458 ) .

is there a reason why search is disabled for new members and not to users not logged in or google?

was wondering the same. Strange that search is available for non members and not to members. Seems quite weird.

We are liaising directly with the home office on this. We do have confirmation on the VIP service being a decision service. the "super premium service" in the past has been officially replaced with the "VIP" service. Upto 4 applicants and 10 dependants are allowed. Like before, you need pre-approval ...

I can confirm that the service is available. However, it's on a pre-approval basis AND cannot have more than one Tier 1 entrepreneur based applicant.

I know. There is conflicting information. Based on our information, the old super premium has been replaced by the VIP service and like before is offered to Tier 1 applicants (including entrepreneurs).

Please see below: You cannot use the premium service if you’re applying under Tier 1 (Investor). You cannot use the premium or s ...
