November 2020 - Citizenship Application
- Thread starter mrmrtn
- Start date
Hello everyone! I finally had my oath ceremony yesterday March 1st. Thanks to everyone for all the support on this thread and good luck to everyone in the process. I know it’s hard and frustrating but hopefully when we become citizens we can make a positive change to advocate for better resources for people who are going through this experience.
my ceremony was quite underwhelming. Having the ceremony on Zoom really doesn’t convey the emotional value and pride one would otherwise feel at such an event unfortunately. But better than nothing at this point lol!
Worse moment was having to cut the PR card. It really broke my heart lol!
I thought I would be overjoyed at the ceremony but I admit that the super long wait time and lack of transparency made the experience overall not pleasant so I didn’t really feel “happy” about it. I wanted to share, just in case others have the same experience!
I think the moment of when it will all “feel real” will be when we get the passport and be able to vote for the first time and that’s when one can look back on the long journey and realize “wow, look at what I/we have accomplished.”
i really hope that the process will improve for future applicants and all I can say for current applicants is just to hang in there and don’t lose hope. You’re almost there.
I will remain active on the forum to help out and answer questions.
for now, waiting for citizenship certificate which, as the agent told me in the ceremony yesterday,can take 2-6 weeks to arrive.

Hello everyone it’s almost 8 months now and I still no updates after I passed the exam.
it’s almost 8 months when they updated my status to Citizenship Test Status Completed.
what should I do? I’m getting worried as I need to go to US this coming December 2022
i emailed them but only received an email saying it’s because of Covid that’s why it’s taking longer.
Where should I call them?

Hi All,
seems to be some movement, I completed my test Dec 18th and it was marked complete like the next day.
I just went into my tracker and everything has been marked "Complete" now, just waiting on the "Oath Ceremony" which is not started but hopefully in the next couple of months i will get the ceremony invite.
Hang in there guys, I know it's going super slow but I am hoping everyone has their citizenship before the end of the year at least!

You can send them an email to ensure that they have received the passport copy. In my case they respond to my email saying they have received the passport copies.
For the feedback or update on your file it's a different story, I have been waiting for more than 7 months. But again each case is different you might get an update earlier than me.
Regards
