Awww such a beautiful moment and beautiful family. You will remember this moment for the rest of your life. I am having my citizenship ceremony in two weeks time and I am so exited.
Oh Mina, this video made me smile all through and also got me emotional. My eyes welled up cos I could tell there was a 'long journey' before this success. Can't wait to hear it all. Your joy was real. I felt it. And yes, the joy of every travel lover is going visa hassle-free. Oh, the pain of visa issues!🤦🏽♀️🥺. Spotted that "our outfit"😅; very befitting for this occasion. So happppy for you, my love. God be praised.
Thanks my darling sis..My dear UkBA system is so complex and rules constantly changing. Oh the pain of visa wahala..the queues, the documentation, the different application process, the fees, the wait , the disappointments ....its so ccazy ! Thanks for sharing in our joy hun..i love babe xx
Am happy for you because I have been waiting to get to the end of this road for 21 years. OMG the process is ridiculously expensive and slow. My case wasnt straightforward but I can now finally say i will be attending my ceremony next month. It's not over until it is over. When God is in the vessel i can smile at the storms. Sometimes I cried and sometimes I laugh when I had my visa extended in order for me to continue working. Gone were the days when the employer will called you in office and asking about our visa from the home office. OMG, i have tears and profound sadness in my heart . The stress kicked in because i have bills to pay and my parents to look after, some I have sleepless nights. The constant living in fear that my life be thrown upside down, also the solicitors fee. The nights that I would be up wondering when I will get a reply from home office. This is a complete torture for any human being but God is the one that see me through it all. It's a lovely feeling to be free from the hands of immigration.
Oh wow 21. years?! wow ! It does sound like it's been quite a journey .. you definitely got dealt a bad hand but God won ..you overcame ! . I am so happy for you too ... I wish you all the best .x
@@EsentiaXperience Even though it took me this long but there are so many things and blessings that I accomplished along the way. I am so bless that I am now semi retired. Who else could it be but God ? My journey is a bittersweet because when I look back at all the stress and heartache, God was still making a way for me even when I have doubts. I was never out of a job over the years but i always get stressed out when the HO doesn't reply or took months to reply. I happy to say that I dont have to worry too much after having my citizenship because I have achieved a lot far more than some people who were born and bred here.
Congratulations! I am about to go for my virtual ceremony in 20 minutes and I wanted to get a feel for what it is going to be like thank you for sharing and wish you all the best.
@@linamsallam9226 From the point of getting the letter confirming my application to naturalise was successful it took 3 and a half months to get the invitation to my ceremony
Congratulations baby girl, I just received my successful email. I hope it won’t be long before I get my ceremony letter as I can’t wait. By the way your hair is beautiful.. would you mind me asking are you a Nigerian as your name sound like Rivers? Big congratulations to you again, it can only be God.. port harcourt people, I am port harcourt too
Hiya .. I live in Edinburgh , Scotland . I got my letter in March but the lock down started first lockdown started a week after . I got invited for online ceremony in May but i declined cos i wanted in person . Got invited again for in person in June the rules were too strict ... like you have to wear max , no photos, no family or friend allowed etc , so i declined again . i got tired of waiting for covid to be over so i emailed and requested the virtual one again ..and chose a date in sept .
Thank you for sharing the video with is , ive got my ceremony tomorrow via zoom as well 🤣 it feels weird right . But after watching your video I've got a bit of a more of an idea what to expect . 😁 so thank you . Can u apply for your British passport straight away online with the certificate please ?
@@linamsallam9226 I waited almost 3 months for the invitation, and the ceremony was within 2 days on zoom. But it can take up to 6months because of covid .
Nice 👍 video I can relate to you am also waiting for my letter to do ceremony it’s draining emotionally what do you think since now we out of lock down two
i understand , ,probably just slower cos of the current restrictions ..dont worry it will come through .You might have to also do the online ceremony as well though..Wishing you all the best xx
The psssport application process is a separate process and it takes approximately 2weeks from when you complete the application online (Even though the website gives you a 10weeks processing time).
