    My ceremony took place in March and still waiting for my British passport … how long did it take for you to get your passport after the oath ceremony

    • @SayoSolankePhillip
      @SayoSolankePhillip  Год назад

      About 4 months. It's usually within 6 months so hopefully you hear back very soon. All the best with your application.

      No, I didn't need NIN. I doubt they would accept an expired passport too.

    How long did take for the approval?

    I applied through agent I think I made a mistake he didn’t put right dates in application that’s why it’s taking long 😢 please reply if exact dates matter

      Hi Zeeshankhan, it took 4 months. I applied in August and got a response in December. I don't believe the exact dates matter, I believe the general processing time period is "within 6 months". Hopefully soon you'd hear back from them. All the best 😊

    Hi did you get your home office ceremony invitation by email or post

    • @SayoSolankePhillip
      @SayoSolankePhillip  6 месяцев назад

      Hi there, I booked it online. You can check this link for more information. www.gov.uk/organise-citizenship-ceremony-council

    • @tracyima472
      @tracyima472 6 месяцев назад

      Heyy, I live in Manchester and I received a ceremony invitation without having to book because according to the Manchester register office, the home office sends them a copy of the successful citizenship application so they can book it automatically without the applicant having to contact them.
      What I’m asking is when you received confirmation that your application was successful was it via email or post? Because I have received a ceremony date which means my application was successful but i haven’t received an email or post from home office directly.
      Thank you for your time

    • @SayoSolankePhillip
      @SayoSolankePhillip  6 месяцев назад

      @tracyima472 Okay, I suspected it would be different per city. Also, considering when I had mine done, there were backlogs from Covid season, so the process might have been changed to suit the situation at the time. In any case, I received mine by email if that helps, and on the letter, I was told to book my ceremony, hence the link I sent you.

    congrats Sayo! A quick question if I can't provide the 2 referees, what can I do?

    • @SayoSolankePhillip
      @SayoSolankePhillip  Год назад

      Hi Kuusoow, thank you 🙂.
      Having 2 Referees is a standard requirement but if you can't find 2, it might be worth checking with the home office to see what your options are. They are not always very strict with who the referees are, so if you have any friends or colleagues with British passports (even if they are not in professional occupations), that might be acceptable. Hope this helps.
