Local Council Naturalisation application

Dear Forum members and moderators

My Husband applied his Naturalisation application on 21st July 2021 and there has been no update on the case till this date.

He did not pick his local council in the application where it asks "where would you like your citizenship ceremony to be held". Instead, we picked up a nearby council which has a better looking office and halls as compared to our local council, mainly for aesthetic purposes (to take a memorable pictures of the citizenship ceremony)

The council we picked is almost 15 minute drive but officially its not our local council.

We know that the standard waiting time is 6 months but we were panicking when we realised this.

Would anyone be able to comment if this could be a problem?

Any reply would be highly appreciated.

You are overthinking.

Whichever council you chose is completely irrelevant to the processing time of an application.
