It is your assumption there your application is very easy but not traveling at all doesn’t make it easier, it makes it harder due to lack of entry / exits. Background takes longer for many applications as security takes about 6 months to clear which forms a part of BG. There are ppl with secret clearances, nexus cards, govt clearances who have also gotten stuck with their background checks.

it is the process and applications distribution among "busy" offices! it is 100% luck, and only luck!!! there is a timeframe for every stage of process, and its up to the officer to finish on time or act as being busy and put you back in the queue, knowing that they should be busy processing application not walking the dog or their side hustles!!!!

I had 3 dreams this morning, that my LPP turned green (twice) and started crying as well attended a ceremony somewhere and officers picked all who were born in July to do the oath, LIKE ME :D:D but woke up to the March 2 reality !!!! Mentally I am really f''''d!!!!

makes it tougher due to lack of entry/exits? I have several entry/exits and I am stuck too. So, does that make my application easier or tougher? LOL.

Interview would be to validate all your travel.
Thank you for your reply.
Already sent the passport pages with the application and only had two 3-week trips in the last 5 years so that is why i wasn't sure if it is normal or not. I thought they could just ask at the interview so was not sure why the pages were requested again.

usually they request passports scans and then interview, so its just the process, send them scans and show up for interview, and be ready as they might ask you to do the oath at spot!!
Thanks for the reply. I sent the scans again and there was no acknowledgement so hopefully it went through. Oh really!! i didn't know that it is a possibility. It is a virtual interview though so not sure. I'll prepare just in case.

If its virtual chances of oath is limited. But after interview 2-4 weeks oath would be scheduled.
