I don't think its just routine bro.. my test status got updated to completed. We will know next week for sure. I think its a batch update!

got same ghost update with OCT 27, 2023

If the citizenship application is returned, for the reason of minor signing his application instead of me, will I be able to just edit that portion and recalculate the physical days present OR do I have to refill the whole application all over again?

Name of minor instead of guardian on the signing page.

Mostly, from what I have seen with exceptions is that these days, about a week after LPP you should get an update for your oath ceremony scheduling. Then, within that update to your oath ceremony date you should get another document with details of the ceremony. Once you finish the Oath another week or so for the actual document.

Update:
Citizenship Test Status update: Completed.
Everything else (except citizenship ceremony) = In progress...

Should I worry for background verification status that is still in progress?

Update:
Test Invite : October 11 (Test Window Oct 16 - Nov 5)
Test Taken: October 19
All status apart of Citizenship Ceremony is in progress.

Question: Does Background check usually change to completed before the test?

Got my letter today. Oath scheduled for November 21st!

Got my letter today. Oath scheduled for November 21st!

Congrats! Did you receive email for downloading e-certificate before oath invite letter? If yes, how long between the two emails?

Not universally true. But most folks whose background is pending after test completion will get a fingerprint request. Your background will complete very soon after fingeprints, if there is no additional security screening.

Hi All, is anyone still in the background verification in progress? I did the test on OCT 6th and it was marked completed the day after. Usually people are getting finger print requests if BG takes a long time but I received none and the background is still in progress. Anyone experience the same? Is this normal?
