[priyanka177]

I wonder why some people receive a request for passport stamping pages and others are not?

Got GCMS, it states "Grant Review ready PM01"; Google says this means "your application is complete and ready for a first-level manager (PM01) to begin the final assessment for a decision to grant citizenship. "PM01" refers to the officer's level, indicating the application has passed preliminary checks and is now at the stage where an officer will review it for a decision."

concern i see: LPP assigned to another agent and due date updated as "2026/03/05"; does this mean officer has time till till this date and can be decided anytime soon
OR, shall i go in holiday mode and expect completion of this application only in March 2026.

Can any of you share similar observation from your GCMS to confirm you also noted date way later in future but decision made earlier than that date ?

Hi.
Eligibility assessment due date on GCMS notes doesn’t mean that it will take that long, if you notice on the GCMS notes all the eligibility assessments will be marked as the same due date. Hope PM01 will review and approve your application sooner…

Prohibition was completed on September 4 and updated on September 6. The Oath Ceremony has not started yet. I’m hoping it will fall on September 23, which happens to be my birthday and also the same day I received my PR. Fingers crossed.

Suggestion - apply for GCMS notes to check status & remarks made by the officers.

Just got an update this early morning. Oath of Citizenship scheduled for September 26.

The funny thing was that my application got stuck for a little while and I applied for GCMS notes. Today marks 30days since I submitted it. Not sure if it influenced it or not, but worth sharing. It's been a wonderful platform for useful info's and supports. And to whoever made that tracker, God bless you! Wishing you all the very best.
