By the way, for me and my wife, it shows as Decision Made in ECAS.. but my minor kids still shows as In-progress.. is that normal?
And also, any idea how many days for the Ceremony to change to In-progress?
Yes, that's normal for minors.
Assume it'll take at least 2 months for oath to avoid disappointment.
Same for me @roydboy75 ... same in my case as well since June 29th. When was your status got changed
Thanks, rajkamalmohanram! Your advice and feedback is much appreciated!
