Citizenship "Decision made" denied application??

Decision made means that either its approved or denied. If it is referred to Citizenship Judge then it would be "In Process"Canadianeh said:
Thanks for your prompt reply and clarification.Well, I just have to wait for the letter on what does my "decision made" means. Hoping that its positive.
Did the agent who interviewed you after the test indicated that there could be an issue? If all your documents were in order, your test and interview went well, there's little reason to fear a negative decision.Canadianeh said:
The typical "decision made" report in this forum has usually referred to positive outcomes, followed by being scheduled for the oath.Canadianeh said:
However, anecdotal reports of "decision made" in this forum are sporadic, follow-up reports are even more sporadic and unclear, and in consideration of other indicators, more than a few are less than reliable.
Without recalling any particular report in this forum, my understanding is that "decision made" may refer to a decision by the Citizenship Officer responsible for the application, and that can be a decision --
-- to grant citizenship, or
-- to not grant citizenship
and whether a decision made to not grant citizenship is followed by notice to the applicant that citizenship is denied, or by a referral to a Citizenship Judge, depends on the grounds for the Citizenship Officer's decision. Only residency or presence cases are referred to a Citizenship Judge. Other grounds for not granting citizenship are final decisions. This includes decisions based on a finding of misrepresentation, failure to prove official language ability, existence of a prohibition, among others.
As already noted, typical reports of decision made by participants in this forum, to the extent there has been a follow-up report, tend to be positive, the decision being to grant citizenship.Canadianeh said:
You can contribute to the forum's collective knowledge by following up yourself, when you learn more. Additionally, in this regard, with no intent to pressure you into revealing any private information, the significance of your report would be better understood if you revealed some of the reasons why you anticipate the possibility the decision made might not be favourable.
For example, there would be no reason to anticipate a referral to a Citizenship Judge unless the applicant has been issued RQ, and even if issued RQ, most applicants should have a good idea whether or not their case is problematic, that is, at potential risk for being denied. And, generally, if there is some other potential ground for being denied, such as a prohibition, the applicant is ordinarily aware of this.
Thus, for example, I concur in the observation made by tmota.
Our test and interview went well, the CO even congratulated us after the interview. I know it is still premature to celebrate.He told us to to wait 2-5 for the oathtaking invites. Im just curious if this thing still could happen.
