This afternoon I’ve got my citizenship ceremony, then we are off to the pub. Can’t ask for much more!

Hope everyone has a fab Wednesday. Xx

Excellent. You can now say "I'm British" and hear this in your head: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FkF_XpA5P48

Congrats. Welcome.

We now have someone to turn the lights off!!

Just joking. I’m having a pint for you. Well done in passing all the stupid paperwork.

[-] KumaLumaJuma@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Really appreciate that!! Although I was a bit offended to see a letter from the current Home Secretary in my “welcome” pack. 🤣🤣

Yeh, she can 0 one 2 one do one. Like most of this government and most of the opposition.

I can only imagine the "don't get too comfy" style messaging you'd get currently.

How long did the whole thing take from when you got your Life in the UK test sorted?

[-] KumaLumaJuma@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Not long but I did pay for super priority on my ILR application because the 6 month processing time freaked me out.

Got ILR in January, applied for citizenship in feb (biometrics late March as I waited for a free appointment) approval on 19th June and ceremony was today.

That's an automatic pass of your UK citizenship right there!

It's also the secret last test: as they hand over the certificate they ask wherr you are going next and if you don't answer correctly, you start over again. Acceptable answers include: the pub, a carvery, and to feed some ducks. The booby trap answer is: a game of cricket.

[-] KumaLumaJuma@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Who would watch cricket? Football is life.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Alright, show-off, you don't get bonus points!

[-] G4Z@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Congrats and welcome aboard!

[-] vosyx@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Congrats and welcome along!

[-] KumaLumaJuma@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Cheers!! Even a bit of sun today, absolutely a success.

[-] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

I'm only surprised that the ceremony takes place outside rather than inside the pub.

[-] KumaLumaJuma@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

Good ole council building 🤣🤣

[-] tkc@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Congratulations! Amazing news!

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Hope everything goes swimmingly.

[-] FakeJake@fr3diver.se 2 points 2 years ago
