The 17th of April Citizenship Ceremony

[Stanina]

Did anyone already received invite for it?

Especially interested in cases where there was approval but no invite for March Ceremony as I am one of those.

There is no confirmed date yet. INIS website clearly states 'on or before 17th April' only for specific cases!! We do not need yet another topic on unconfirmed ceremony. It is unlikely to be a large general ceremony!
