Any updates on CoA?

Have there been on updates on what is happening with certificates of approval since the High Court ruling in April?

I am a US citizen have been living in the UK for about two years, first as a student and now with FLR with Fresh Talent in Scotland, and just got engaged to a UK citizen. I called the Home Office last week to ask what I would need to do to get married and they told me that I would need to apply for the CoA still.

Also, they told me that once I got the CoA I only had 3 months to give notice to marry and be actually married (we are getting married in a Catholic church). Is that true? I called the Registration office and they said we only had to give notice to marry within that 3 months, and then be married 3 within 3 months of getting that.

Is it just me or does the Home Office have no idea what is going on?
