April 2022 - Citizenship Applications

[Jasmann21]

You can send an email to the office that sent you the test invite (they may have a different email for oath purposes) and ask them about a tentative oath date so you can plan things around it. I’ve seen quite a few cases here (including myself) where they do respond with an actual oath date, depends on the office. Or they would tell you to wait. Still worth a shot I think. Just wait for a week or two from the day everything turned green before you send the email.

Thank you so much for your detailed response and for sure sounds like a great idea
My application was stuck at the test completed from Nov 10 and BG completed on may 23 but updated on tracker on 25th May and on May 31 around 4:23 pm I received an email requesting a copy of an I’d that was expired in Nov 2022 and I sent it right way and received an auto reply and 5:37 pm the agent reply me back saying my documents were well received and they don’t need anything from my side and they will complete my file shortly and put me in the queue for ceremony and the wait time is 1 to 4 months and my tracker updated on 2nd June for all turned green.
Now again waiting game begins lol.

thanks and best of luck

e-certificate of citizenship?? That's awesome! I'm guessing you get it right away? Do you think that's enough to apply for the passport?
