Congrats! Is October 10 you FP request? Our timeline is quite similar, but no Decision Made or Oath for us :(
 
Hello, I am new to this forum and I have attended the test by last week and have cleared the test. During the interview the office mentioned that i need do the bio metrics just for myself. Is this common , will there be any issues, please advice

Congrats for passing the test.

Thumb print is requested if they come across with people having same name just to ensure you are the correct person seeking/being processed in the citizenship application.

At this stage there should not be any issue. If the other person(namesake) has some issue then the processing may get a bit delayed. But, like I mentioned this should not be a cause for concern to anyone who is having a clean record and have passed their citizenship test.

Cheers and all the best for your further processing.
 
I am studying for the citizenship test. Is the book alone enough? The book says that it has all you need to know to pass the test. Is the interview normally held as part of the citizenship exam, or is it sometimes waived?

Also do I need to bring my entire citizenship application to the test/interview?
