Hey guys,
On 11.08 I received email from council saying they received my certificate and invite me to book my ceremony. However I hove not received any emails from Home Office. I understand there should be two of them, one confirmation and one invitation to book the ceremony? It seems like I won't be able to book my ceremony until I get Home Office email as I have to bring it with me to the ceremony, even though they already have my certificate. Has anyone been in the same situation and can anyone advice how to contact and chase Home Office regarding this issue?

I received my ceremony invitation from the council first and the home office approval the following Monday. You may get yours on Monday too or sometime next week. If not you could always try emailing
FurtherNationalityEnquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk. Hope that helps.

I am in the same situation.
Receive invitation from Council yesterday on 13th.
I have yet to receive approval from Home office which is required to provide before Ceremony.
I hope I receive it next week.

Thanks for your reply. As you suggested I received Home Office email today.
