citizenship ceremony question

I'm just curious about citizenship timelines. I read Katoo's post on citizenship (congratulations!) and it seems like they have 6 months to attend the ceremony.
Pre-pandemic I thought it was 3 months. Does anyone know if/when it will change back to 3 months? Thanks!

My email from Lancashire council said 6 months.  However, my email from the Home Office said 3 months.

There's no reason to wait is there?  You can still travel on your American passport .  You will be  a UK citizen, tell the border guards to kiss your butt, they have to let you in unless you've been hanging out with ISIS.   

**note:  Your mileage may vary telling the border guards to kiss your butt.  I've never been anywhere close to doing that because they've always been super nice at the border since I became a UKC.    Even last time when we were carrying a random Latvian teenager in the car.

Hmm that's good to know, thank you!

Good point

I chose the first date available.  Next week!  Will apply for passport the day after ceremony.

Please keep us updated on how long it takes your shiny new passport to arrive too!

I'd love to know the answer to this too - we have travel plans for March and would really rather attend the ceremony in April when we get back, otherwise I don't think my wife would get her passport in time.

If it's any help, the gov.uk website is still saying 6 months. No idea when that could change:
