I wish everyone still waiting to become citizens speedy and positive closure.

there would be a separate thread for August 2023, suggest to post your updates there
it's weird - have you applied for your GCMS notes? I passed my test 2 days before you and had my oath completed in July. My partner is still waiting an update since May 26th after passing the test
Just had my citizenship interview today (both self and my spouse). All good with application and has been granted now. Oath ceremony next in 2-4 months , could be earlier if slots available.
LPP still shows in process but I assume will show as completed in next 1-2 days as officer had no concerns when I left the interview counter
