Hi guys, hope you are all doing great.

I have a question regarding family applications. In my case I am applying along with my wife.

My question is what happens If I pass the test and she fails or if she does not take the test?? Does my application get delayed or at this point the cases are separated?

We are temporarily not living together (we are not divorced yet). So we don't have a lot of communication now

Thanks a lot in advance

Every application will be treated differently, but as you both are not staying together, I hope this should not raise a question with agent who is handling your case.

After the test, you or a family member may be asked to:

re-write the written test; or
attend a hearing with a citizenship officer or a citizenship judge
If this happens, we may process the other family members’ applications separately. This process might mean that they will attend an earlier citizenship ceremony and become citizens faster than the one re-writing the test or attending the interview.

We will tell you before we process your family’s applications separately. We will also send you a form that you can use to ask us to process the applications together. If you want the applications processed together, we will pause the other family members’ applications until after the second test or interview.

If citizenship is then granted after the second test/interview, all family members will attend the same ceremony.
