Thank you so much for sharing your experience,Very helpful. I used to watch dozens of videos on daily basis from more than 10 years and this is the first am commenting on someone’s video, just because you’re very polite and your way of explanation is outstanding with true expressions. God bless you and your family
@@TheWooloffs hi dear hope u doing well I have been watching ur video it does help me a a lot.my citizenship has been approved once again thank you 😊 I have a question how could i book my ceremony .The council local number is nightmare when I rang them they don’t answer it just hang up automatically it has been two weeks since I got my approval thanks a lot 🙏
Hello. Congratulations on your approval! In my case, I went to my local council’s website and searched for the topic about Citizenship Ceremony. Then I looked for their email address where I can ask questions. Fortunately someone replied and confirmed that they also received my approval letter from the Home Office but they said that I should wait for them to contact me for my ceremony schedule. And that’s what I did I just waited until they contacted me through email about my ceremony.
I have watched your videos since May 2021 when I started my application process, tomorrow is the ceremony and I can not thank you enough for the detailed and informative videos
@@saaanbbb62 I submitted my application in May 2021, biometrics appointment was on May 28. I received confirmation that my application had been successful in August 2021. It was quicker than expected as they had informed me that the outcome could take up to 6 months. Good luck
That’s a wrap for 2020! Congratulations once again on your British citizenship. Your tips helped me a lot in my current application. So glad I found your channel.
Thank you so much xx you vdos helped me alot. On every step of my application progression I clicked on your vdo on you tube to know what will happen next. Very helpful for me. Soon I m going for ceremony my council registrar called me on Saturday. Thank you so much very knowledgeable.
@@amirahabdi once you got approval. It took me a month for invitation letter. Sent it to your council via email mentioning your details. You can also call them to ask them. Once you send it through email they will call to give you date for ceremony. It won't take long, for me once it approved, it took a month gap in each next step. Sit tight nothing to worry about now.
@@srbdhillon1903 i have been waiting now two weeks since approval email, on the email it did say, they will send out within 3 weeks if I still not receive then email them so I will wait abit more then ask what’s going on
@@amirahabdi yeah you can do that I did twice but they won't reply. Just be patience. Everything will be alright. It took me a month to get invitation letter. I was left with only 6 week to book ceremony. But once i received, council booked me within 4 weeks.
Thank you for the informative video. I have sent my online application on Feb 3 2021 and I have my biometric appointment on March 4th. I hope to finish the process by June of this year ... fingers crossed
Hi there, very helpful this information but my question is after your ceremony in the next day you were sent you BRP? I have ceremony this 31st of July 2024. Then after I will travel to the Philippines for over 3 weeks.
Hie there,,,your videos are so helpful and congratulations to you.Just wanted to ask if you ever got to write the look into the uk test (liuk),l did my biometrics and from then l received a letter for the citizenship ceremony and are left wondering if l will have to read for that too? Thank you for encouragement as l prepare for my ceremony next week
Hi dear, I’ve been watching your videos and it’s does give me hope for my application. Can I asked a question please? Were you employed when you apply for your citizenship? I am unemployed so I’m a little bit worried if that will affect my application? A big congratulations to you I am truly happy for you. I did my biometric since September 2020 and I am still waiting for a decision and hopefully 🙏 it’s come out positive 🙏🙏
Hello. Thanks for watching my videos. Yes, I am employed when I applied for my citizenship. I wish you the very best on your application. Let us know when you get your results, hope it won't be that long wait anymore. Hoping and praying with you. 🙏
@@Duskymaiden I don’t want to scare you, but when I first applied I wasn’t in employment it took a very long time for me to get a decision like years, and soon as I when into employment I got accepted So being employed shows your contribution to the country and that your not lazy and living off benefits
Thank you! Can I ask how long is the ceremony? I have been invited at 9 in the morning and was wondering if I will be able to go to work in the afternoon. It's a public ceremony.
Thank you very much for the detailed video on this topic. I have question-related to this topic. today my son (7 years old) received the citizenship letter. does the minor need to attend the ceremony before applying for passport?. As a parent, me and my wife are still in ILR. Thank you
No they don’t only above 18 need an invitation letter and ceremony, but I don’t know how they will collect thier Certificate!! Did you or your husband have ILR before your son was born? If so then he didn’t need to be natrulised Just straight to passport application with his birth certificate and your ILR showing the date you received it which would be the dates before he was born!!! That what I did with my two children !! Within 3 weeks they both got British passports
Hi there. Thank you very much for your video. It is really very useful. Just a couple questions I need your explaination pls. 1/ where can I upload the documents? Do I have to go to UKVA to do it? 2/ Do I need to submit original passport?3/Can I travel while waiting for approval?4/I come from Asia, the way of writing full name is different from English way (Family name, middle, sur name). My BRP was issued according to my own way. Shoud I keep as it is in my British passport? Again a big and sincere thank you in advance.

Good evening Charlene, is a problem getting there to venue or you have a problem with the parking? Where did you park? I will really appreciate it if you reply x
Hello po Ate Charlene, how long did you wait from the time you completed your application up until they made their decision? Thank you po new subscriber here:)
Hello. 👋 Due to pandemic, it took quite a while for the decision. You can check out my video here to see the timeline. Feel free to look into my other videos also to hopefully help you out if you are applying. 😊 czcams.com/video/h9YLCJHiKXY/video.html
@@amirahabdi visit the website of your nominated local council and book for a citizenship ceremony using the reference number you had in the approval letter or email. That is what I did. I hope this helps👍.... Good luck
@@Frankagyare I moved house while application was in process and moved council, so I don’t know if certificate will be send to old council or new council, I did change address with HO when I moved
Hi there, i recently received the Homeoffice invitation but when i call to the local authority to book for ceremony, but they says that they haven’t received my certificate from Homeoffice, and its two weeks past since Homeoffice sent me the invitation letter, do you know what i have to do please, i already sent an email to the home office but not got responded from them, im a bit nervous
Hello. Maybe you can print the email off or just show your email through phone when you get to your ceremony venue. I had a paper copy so I brought it with me that time.
@@nobusiness I have got my invitation email but there’s no reference number on it. So the council couldn’t book my ceremony. So where do you think I can get this reference number
Thank you very much for all your information. How can I Booking my ceremony ? …The phone number provided by them on the citizenship invitation is a nightmare!!! I didn’t receive the email, just the letter…Please help me!! Congratulations 👏 👏👏once again 👏👏👏👏
Hello. Not sure what is the number in the invitation letter. That could be the Home Office number. You should contact your local council, the one you’ve put on your application. Normally, you should just wait for them to tell you that they have booked your ceremony. That is what happened to me. I just waited for my local council to contact me.
@@TheWooloffs thank you very much for all your videos, thank you very much for share all your experiences, thank you very much for you time. God Bless you 🙏
What city was that you had your ceremony in? I am in Leeds I have received the approval email on 17th December and I am waiting for my ceremony to take place
Criminal record. Not being a person of good character Not paying your taxes. This is important. If you self employed make sure you pay your taxes as they'll check. I had to pay back taxes before I applied which I didn't want to pay lol.
Hello. I just replied to the email that I received from my local council. You can inquire about your ceremony on the local council that you put on your application. At the moment, I know some people are still waiting for their ceremony invitation letter too.
@@TheWooloffs Intresting. I didn't get an email with my acceptance, I got a letter via mail. It said to wait until they send me another letter with my booking date and it's been three months which is the max amount of time it would take. I sent and email to ukincanada@fcdo.gov.uk and I got an automated response. So just wondering who you connected with. I'm in Canada so maybe it's different.

Yes
Hi .Which address do we return the BRP card?
Hello. I sent it to this address. POL Returns P.O. Box 195, Bristol, BS20 1BT.
Which oath is better religious or affirmation
Hello. There’s not much difference on the length of the statements, but of course your choice would depend on your beliefs.
I chose religious as I'm God fearing lol
Did you have to pay for the ceremony?
Hello. No I didn’t pay for the ceremony. I think it’s already included in our application fee.
