Hi ,

I have an urgent query and need immediate help.
I have applied my Naturalization in May, and i have been out of country for few weeks on business trip, i had someone checking my mail box but since last week no one is there to check my box.

I just happen to call Swindon council and they said they have received information regarding me from Home office on 30th Oct, however they said i have to come to UK to book my ceremony.i am coming back on 29th Nov.

I have questions.
1) How many letters does HO send, is it approval letter only or Ceremony invitation letter as well ?
1) In what time frame i have to book my ceremony if they have send the approval? is there any time limitation considering HO sent letter dated 30th Oct , is it 3 weeks or 3 months?
2) Can i book ceremony from out of country for a date in Dec ?

1) How many letters does HO send, is it approval letter only or Ceremony invitation letter as well ? It varies, some people get one combined approval/ceremony invitation and others get two separate letters
1) In what time frame i have to book my ceremony if they have send the approval? is there any time limitation considering HO sent letter dated 30th Oct , is it 3 weeks or 3 months? You have to book your ceremony within 21 days of received the invitation letter and you have to attend the ceremony within 3 months.
2) Can i book ceremony from out of country for a date in Dec ?Yes you can if you will be back in December to attend, but to book it you need the reference number that is on your invitation letter.
