Same here! I do not know what shall we do? Just keep waiting until everyone receives citizenship but us....
I just talked to my representative. She said nothing can be done and we have to patiently wait. She informed me that at times another officer other than the the case officer assigned to our case might want to take a look at our file for whatever reason. On the web page, is says 4-6 months after the test one will get scheduled for the Oath. One might get an Oath invitation even after six months. Sorry, I don't have better news for those who are waiting. Fingers crossed, prayers are sent your way for those who are waiting.

On the bright side, no news is good news. If any info is needed, they will contact us. So, no communication means everything is in order. I am hoping we will hear about the Oath ceremony sometime in May or June. I have not looked at the application tracker sheet circulating in this forum but it is just the November 20 to November 30, 2022 applications seem to be stuck. Somebody correct me if I am wrong or inaccurate. I know people who waited 2.5 years for their citizenship. Don't get discouraged, don't lose hope. We will get there. We have come this far.

I agree. Let's keep our hopes up. My wife passed her test in early November and everything was fine. The issue seems to be with people who took the test between November 20th and 30th, 2022. Perhaps the idea that the officer is on leave or vacation is a realistic possibility.

I completed my test on November 10th. Citizenship test and background check has been completed. But LPP is still pending , there was a ghost update on March 2nd and nothing since then. Its almost 5 months and no update, seems like file is not moving to the next step.

hey my friend, join the many people who are waiting like you. We were just brainstorming as to why the hold up is. I am sure we will eventually have an update. No one seems to have a clear answer. We are all just guessing and hoping. Good luck the rest of the way.

According to the "no news is good news theory", you have been bathing in good news since June.

I would apply for GCMS notes if I were you.

I actually applied for them twice, but never received them. Now I have put in a complaint. Let's see if they release them now

You know I did not come up with "no news theory" right
