Congrats Just curious. Were you ever invited for an interview with an officer, and did you share copies of passport pages/received finger print request?

I have a very similar timeline. My test was marked as completed on Sept 6th and my BG check was completed in Aug.
No, I was not invited for an interview and they didn't request fingerprints either. I only sent in the passport photo page when I initially applied.

Which office is processing your application?

How much time does it take to receive ATIP notes after requesting? I requested for them on 29-Oct. Wondering when would I receive those?
They've become really sloppy with GCMS notes as well! My last two requests took about 60 days each. That's referring to the $5 version, the free ones I never received.

Maybe a more and more people are applying for GCMS notes, in order to trigger something since citizenship applications and taking way longer than normal, hence the delay in getting GSMS notes.

That might be true. Because I am personally agianst applying for GCMS notes but I did request a week ago out of frustation because its a long wait for one last step.

Did you ask for faster processing due to travel or something similar ?

It may not take around 30 days as my wife has 3-4 pending but now as oath is scheduled my wife could care less

Does your tracker show all steps completed? In my case I had the ceremony on Oct 28th but it still shows in progress now.

And some, like me, are getting frustrated because its a long wait for the first step itself .. Still waiting for the test invite.

Why would you be AGAINST applying for GCMS notes? Are you against transparency and being able to see what's going on with your application? LOL

That is a possibility. I just feel this system is so broken. I am seeing quite a few November applicants getting their applications finalized. Just gotta wait and be patient.
