March 2022 - citizenship applications

[niushad]

Ghost update because your Background Verification was expired after 1 year.

Hmm ... so it doesn't mean anything. My BG was completed on May 19 (I still have 3 days!) but on the ECAS page it says "We started processing your application on May 16, 2022", that might be the reason for the update...

it is also my case. Ecas from Decision made change to In Process after background check expired. Because you haven't had decision made, you will see it changed on ECAS. All items on tracker are still green.

In my case only BG and Test are green. Everything else is still in progress

Thank you, yes all of you get your oath quickly too. The citizenship process sucks. It's way too long post covid (for most people) and seems very disorganized. They're using LIFO instead of FIFO.
