This is the wrong answer. 100%. As soon as you get another citizenship, you lost your Indian Citizenship. You can surrender your Indian passport even after 5 years.

Correct.

Well, I'm on the same page as you and I think I should wait till the Oath ceremony before bugging them. Let them work in their way. I will let you know if I receive it before.

Don't you think you should wait till Oath for this?

I want to ask: Do the Surrender Certificate received back from BLS contain a picture of us printed on it ?

Application submitted: April 04, 2022 Oath Invitation scheduled: June 28, 2023 Updated in my portal today.

Lots of congratulations :)

Expect your Oath invitation email in 3 - 6 months.

Don't worry. It's a fun office. While working, they sometimes take a break to enjoy Niagara Falls. Spend some time there before working again. They are chill people and are never in a hurry to process applications.

Very happy to hear that your Oath is scheduled. I am a strong believer in the fact that the application processing should be done in sequential order (unless the application is complex) which hardly happens. 2 years is a long time. Enjoy now !!!

Well, there is no way to get Citizenship Certificate in person for Online oaths. The oath for the in-person ceremony is different where you get a certificate on the spot. Also, Oaths for e-certificate are different from where you can download the certificate. You can, however, request urgent...

Looks like you have been fooled. Haha :D Definitely unethical. Without following protocols and any procedures, it cannot be changed into urgent.

The Citizenship ceremony is completely halted. They are not working. This is the pending update coming from Tuesday's work. Normally, we see an update after 2 days.

Haha. Don't be too excited yet. Pray for the strike to be over. Else, like others, you will see a golden mail about the Oath rescheduling.

A good thing that Niagara Falls office planned to have one Citizenship Ceremony but the bad point here is the Federal Workers strike.

I'm happy to see that applicants from April 2022 have started getting Oath ceremonies. That's very good news. Good luck. Hopefully, I can get the Citizenship Test request soon after waiting now more than 10 months.

Thank you so much for the information. Good luck to you for the remaining part of your application process.

Can you please send me the email ID of the office from where you got the Test Invitation Email from? My file is also transferred to the Niagara Falls office and I have yet not got the Test Invitation email. My BG was completed more than 100 days ago.

Let me make a guess. It must be in Niagara Falls office since those are the persons who are suffering the most right now.

Some early March and April applications are also waiting for Test for a long time after BG completion.
