I read that some applicants started to receive notice to appear for online tests, and they have 3 weeks to do the test. I wonder if anyone has done the test to share their experience, especially how they verify the documents, and if we need to print anything since it's online? Thanks in advance
Has anyone done the online test for the citizenship?

Just did mine yesterday! It was a really smooth and easy process. They take a picture of a piece of ID that you hold up, then of your face and then you do the test and submit

Your webcam is on and filming/taking pictures of you the whole time, so if they see you looking around or talking to anyone you'd get caught. Plus it knows if you open another tab. Not saying cheating isn't maybe possible but I personally wouldn't think to jeopardize my entire citizenship application for that

Yup! Here are the step by step instructions they sent me:

I submitted my app in Dec 2018
Couldn't make it to the original test date they sent me in January of this year, so then it got rescheduled to be online and I completed that yesterday.
Thanks for the info @Philly898.
Any idea of how/when the interview takes place?

That's great. All the best for remaining process.Thanks
Do you mean the interview for people who do not have to take a test? Or Oath Ceremony? I think all the Oath Ceremonies have been online for a few months already. Read that so far 43,000 applicants have had their Oath Ceremonies online since the pandemic and cancellation of in person oaths. I haven't gotten any news of when that will be for me yet. Hopefully soon!
