My new citizenship thread because my other one got Olgaed*

You guys!  My APPROVAL arrived today in the post!  I'll phone tomorrow to see about booking a ceremony... It's perfect because my FIL just asked us about our plans for Christmas, so it's possible we can go to Bristol to have my ceremony and Christmas dinner in one trip!  And, what a Christmas!  Ahhhhhhhhhh!  Soooo happy!

My NDRS+JCAP was October 24th (online application submitted the day before, on the 23rd) and biometrics submitted on October 27th.  My invitation/approval letter is dated November 22 and arrived today. 

ETA: I have to wait 'til tomorrow to book my ceremony because my husband is off today, and he doesn't know what days he's off next month, so we'll have to get that information when he goes in to work.

This is AWESOME!!!    I am sooo happy for you!

Thank you, larrabee!  And thank you so much for all of your virtual prodding and encouragement.  I wouldn't be sitting here with an approval next to me right now without your urging me along. 

So pleased for you!!!! What a perfect early Christmas present

So happy to have been of help! 

Unless they change their minds, the UK passport will start being blue in October 2019.

Wooo! There's a chance then that I could have a red passport if Everything gets approved for me in a timely manner and I submit things on time,

Based on your timeline, if you get right on citizenship as soon as you have your ILR (and don't wait 5 months between applications like I did!), you should be good for a red passport.  You're applying for ILR in January, right?

My ceremony is December 14th in Bristol!  I opted for an individual ceremony because the earliest group one isn't until January 17th, and I want to do it now!  So in two weeks, I will become a dual citizen!  Wheeeeee!

SOO excited for you

I never knew I wanted a red passport until they announced that the UK is switching back to blue, and then I wanted it more than anything else in the world.

I want a red one too. They're so pretty! I already have stinky blue US one 

Yay for ceremony date! That's the day my husband and I first met  (2015)

So exciting JF!!!

So exciting JF!!!

I know... I'm sitting here, all, "Two weeks is so far awaaaaayyyyy!"  I'm definitely doing the right thing paying for the earlier individual ceremony.  I couldn't handle a 6-week wait 'til the next group one.

Well done!  There's no stopping you now!
