October 11th 2017 - Citizenship Applicants under 3/5 rule

[itsmyid]

Hi Everyone,

I have received the GMS notes (Computer notes) today after 4 months of wait. They use to email these notes in the past but now they started to send the information in a CD. It's so detailed that It took me few hours to read. In the end, I found that my file is waiting for oath ceremony date. Its been over two months since I wrote my test. The letter that I got after the test says 3 to 5 months. So I am still in the waiting game. It seems that they have done all the security checks before the test date.

I want to mention that If you are waiting for a long time, it worth ordering the notes as they are so detailed and now they have started to even include all paperwork that you send with the application, even they had the envelope and courier stamps on file

Hope that I receive the Oath information soon.

You must have accidentally requested it on a CD ... I got my GCMS a few weeks ago by email

Best to call them and ask the procedure. Your situation is quite uncommon, and may be hard to find the correct response here.

Hey, that's Strange as I just checked again and I did tick the email option but they sent me a CD. How long it took for your to receive the file. Mine took 4 months after a complaint to the ATIP Office.
