Just wondering if there is anyone else who doesn't need to take the test because of age... my BG updated today as completed but test is not started, everything else is in progress except oath which is also not started... any thoughts on how it should play out... I had a GU on 7 Feb around same time as a few others who then received test invites...

Congrats, so if the Background Checks show as complete, then do we still need to worry about interview or fingerprint request?
No, we most likely will not be asked for fingerprints as that is connected to th3 background check. however, we may be selected for an interview at any time.

I have just realized I made a big mistake when completing the task. Silly but I was being distracted by my son when the screen was asking me to take a picture of the ID, instead, I took a photo of myself. Obviously this is stupid but it has happened.
Currently, my wife has her test completed and mine shows pending. What should I do?

Hi How did you know that bckground completed on Feb 12, did you received email?
Hi Flores,
The tracker gets updated and the in-progress changes to completed under the background section. And the account history lists the exact date background was marked complete.
It should be the same for all the other items too. Only email we get is AOR, test invite, fingerprints request, interview request, and oath ceremony. Everything else is only updated on the tracker.
Btw, not everyone gets asked for fingerprints or interviews.

Finished got 20/20 - it took me under 10 mins. Clicking the id card on the camera was bit annoying to adjust. Also BG is updated 2 days ago. THANK YOU FOR THE TEST GUIDANCE

I got test invite first and than BG happened after few days later
Me too, but I think the question was if the BG is still pending a few weeks after the test invite.
In our case, the main reason we got the invite was because our BG had cleared. I got the invite after a few ghost updates and then 2 days later BG was marked complete. but in reality, the BG results were already available and that is why I got the test invite. Make sense?
