MARCH Applicant for citizenship March , 2017

It's definitely fingerprints request.
Everybody is getting FP request with same status on ecas.

That might be what is slowing everyone down then. You went to IP in 5 days, I'm at 12 days and still waiting for IP (same office, similar type of application).

But, what makes you think it's everyone getting FP and not just specifically your application?

I'm not an expert to answer, why you are still waiting for your ecas status to change to IP but I've seen people going into process 6 weeks after receiving their AOR. On average it takes 7-12 days. These are the statistics I picked up from spreadsheet for last 3 months.

People with south Asian or middle eastern background most likely get their processing delayed due to extensive background checks and name matches. I've been going through other users timeline. Some of them got FP request after their interviews/test. I don't really know what's going on

I'm at 12 days and still waiting for IP (same office, similar type of application).

You never know. People in the same office got IP in 3 days when mine took 24!
It will eventually happen, be patient. Based on my understanding, FP will be requested once your application is in process. So FP request shouldn't have anything to do with delay in IP.

According to Spread sheet the average time for AOR in March apps is 10 days. but that means nothing. some applications receive late AOR (more than 20 days) but then their application process goes faster than other applications that received AOR in 5 days. it depends on the applicant situation and the employee who is reviewing the application I guess.

Oh, I'm not worried or being impatient. I meant that we have a similar application in terms of office and type and if his theory is that everyone is going through FP, then that might be a reason as to why the IPs have taken longer at the back end of March or why there's a lack of test invites so far this month.

When he said "everyone is getting FP" I thought there were a number of users getting that request. But, that looks like that's not necessarily the case. I don't think it's common to get an FP request is it? That's why I asked if there was some general rule change he was aware of or if it was just specific to his application.

With that being said, went IP late last night. Will keep the spreadsheet updated if I get an FP request.

You know, what he said is his assumption for sure. As you see, you got your IP and FP request didn't have anything to do with delays in IP. You may be requested at a later stage. Even everything in your case be similar to him, how do you know your officers are the same as well?
Everything depend on the person who is dealing with your application. So, let's hope for the best that your application would go on smoothly.

I can understand with crazy stuff going on around the world at the time, there would be more digging and background check (FP as one means for it) for people with certain nationalities. But again, it is not for sure the case for everyone. If you look at spreadsheet for previous months, for those who has received FP request, timeline isn't much different. It is just important to do it right away to avoid delays. I have done it last year as job requirement and it was fast. Just adding more $$ to your case.
