I'm slightly confused as when reading some approvals; they receive approval and have to book a date but some applicants receive the letter from the council informing them the ceremony date. Is it different in every council?

I applied in Feb 2017 and will be going away for holiday for 3 weeks therefore am wondering what happens as I don't think it will be approved before I leave on my holiday.

What happens if you miss the ceremony date the council gives you?

I see some approval dates and receipt of letter dates vary from 1-2 weeks and there is a time limit to book the ceremony from approval date?

Anyone missed the ceremony date before in this forum and what happened if you do? (If the dates were set by council instead of booked by the applicant)

It won't be a date immediately, likely a few weeks away.

You should book your ceremony within 21 days and you must attend your ceremony within 90 days.

No people attend it, because if you miss it, your certificate is sent back and you lose out and have to apply and pay again. If you get a date set from the council, you can change the date.

It varies from council to council on how they do it, re set date or letter to call and book a date.

Thanks CR001 ... I hope that I don't miss anything while I'm away as I see some getting letters that are delayed which cuts the 21 days short or even receiving the council invitation and nothing from ukvi
