Hi

I received approval for 2 kids on Saturday however still waiting for their mother.
Upon calling council i understood they had all the 3 certificates and have booked ceremony for my Mrs but email from council state she still needs HO approval letter which we hvent received.

Maybe just wait a few more days as it might still be on its way. It comes second class post.

If this will hep.

I got my BC ceremony invitation letter from my local council over the weekend with the ceremony date already pre-booked. The following Week I got the Home Office Approval and Ceremony invitation letter, (a single letter).

I think HO notified council of BC approval and then sent the BC Approval + Ceremony letter using 2nd class post. My council I believe after receiving the BC Certificate and other documents from HO sent their letter using 1st class post and since it is a local post, the post arrived the next day whilst HO was still in transit!

One would think with the huge BC fee, having paid quite an exorbitant amount for ILR premium/normal service fees, the HO should be able to send out these letters by next delivery signed for postal service, which cost no more than £7 by Royal-mail secured delivery.

You should post in your own topic.

There is nothing to pay when booking your ceremony. The ceremony fee was included in your citizenship application fee!!
