June 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

[trumprefugee]

My tracker changed to everything competed language prohibitions etc on June 9th but citizenship ceremony still stuck in not started. Is this long of a delay normal?

Same here. Got everything completed on June 10th except oath ceremony . It is normal if it’s Niagara Falls office.

Hey I'm also being processed by Niagara Falls and have almost the same timeline, see my signature. Hopefully we'll all get scheduled for oath around the same time as well and soon

Was your test marked completed after you passed it on Apr 01 ?

No....there was no update until I got the email for the test re-take. However I passed on both attempts.

We have an almost identical timeline - I'm also a paper application at Scarborough and Language/Prohibitions/Physical Presence were changed to completed on June 8. I'm also still waiting for the oath date. I'm sure that once one of us gets it, the other will soon follow.

Hello All, My application status Updated today including my Wife, but my son application only prohibitions section completed, can someone guide what does this mean? why it can be pending? IS it because he is minor?

I have a theory and I could be completely off lol. I think the applicants that got the oath dates instantly ( or relatively shortly after DM) might be the ones that had been waiting for longer. So say someone that sent in their app in 2020 or prior. In my case I sent in my app June 2021 so maybe they know that this file hasn’t been outstanding for as long so they’re taking their time with scheduling oath etc. again this is purely guesswork and conjecture and I could be completely wrong lol. Hopefully we hear back soon!

From the spreadsheet, the average time between decision made and Oath Letter date is 16-17 days, with some cases taking ~50 days. Nothing to do but wait!

Hi All,
My wife and I have done our test in Dec and got its status as completed in Jan. At that time it was just the Background check and test was "Completed".
But today I just notice that my wife Background status changed to "In progress" again. I wonder if it does anything? Why did they get it status back to in progress I wonder?

Hello everyone,

Just a quick update: my spouse and I took the citizenship test today (June 25) and passed.

Thanks to everyone who shared tips, resources and assurances.

Hi everyone, I had my citizenship application received by mail-in on June 23, 2021. My Background Verification was updated to complete Sep 23, 2021. I complete my Citizenship test last month on May 24. Since then, no updates, and my Language Skills, Physical Presence and Prohibitions are still "In Progress".

Is is usual that I would have completed the test without the other 3 being complete? How long do they other three take, and what generally holds them up?

My physical presence may be slightly complicated as I left country plenty of times for work, for 3 weeks at a time, multiple US trips, but I am confident I am well beyond the physical presence calculator. Hopefully I got all the dates right though!
