Too tight window….

Tracker updated on 29th Aug
Oath scheduled for 20th Sep
I honestly believe it is just random luck. In which "pile" your application ends up sitting. I applied in early June and haven't received any update after AOR. So nobody has even opened my application yet. Whereas, some people that applied later already have been invited to the oath.
It is frustrating. I am in slow boat as well.
Applied June 6, got aor July 7, background check completed July 17, since then absolutely frustrating silence. It’s truly getting very hard to even get slight excitement for those, who applied 2-4 weeks later and already became citizens..
This is an honest statement and totally valid. Unfortunately there seems to be no rhyme or reason to how applications are processed. Perhaps a complete overhaul of the system needs to be looked at, to include enhancing technology so that there can be increased transparency. I called an agent last speak. Spoke to an amazing guy, there is nothing holding up the application it’s just waiting on the agent…
I strongly believe there should be the FIFO methodology and only in those cases where a further deep dive is required those may take some time.
Hold strong!
Yeah, the system is quite frustrating and they should review it at some point. How did you manage to talk with an agent?
I took my test on 4th Sept and no update since then. Test still says in progress with everything else except Ceremony ofcourse.I took my test on Aug 25th and marked as completed on the 29th and no further updates since. Should I be worried?
