As a client based in the Florida Panhandle in the US, I was recommended to use Breytenbachs Immigration Consultants. I am grateful for their professional support throughout my British citizenship application. I started the process by completing their online questionnaire, and Debbie Smuts and her team handled everything efficiently and professionally from there. I finished the process at my citizenship ceremony at the British Consulate in Miami.
Key dates in my journey:
- December 2023 – Completed online questionnaire
- February 2024 – Application submitted to UK Home Office
- April 2024 – Biometrics completed in New Orleans at USCIS
- September 2024 – Application approved
- January 31, 2025 – Citizenship ceremony at British Consulate Miami
Working with a team that could manage the entire process remotely was crucial for me. The process did require some travel within the US – the biometrics appointment in New Orleans and the ceremony in Miami. The citizenship ceremony itself was held in a corner office on the 16th floor in Brickell, Miami with breathtaking views of the city, making it a truly memorable experience.
My sister, Amanda Clyde, also used Breytenbachs for her British citizenship application in South Africa.
Debbie and her team’s expertise and clear communication kept me informed at every step. Their professional handling of documentation and responsive service gave me confidence throughout the application process.
A big thank you to Debbie Smuts and her team, including Jeanne Prinsloo, based in the Cape Town office, for their support throughout this journey.
