Why did I get test invite before fingerprints?

Why did I get test invite before fingerprints?

They dont always move in sequence. Many people do receive test invite before background complete. Its few but not a rare event.

Got ghost update on Jan 31. Nothing seems updated yet.

You can expect BG completion in a couple of days. Also, as per a trend that I have observed (may not be the case every time), people with frequent travel history or common name get the test invitation first before BG completion and then are also requested fingerprints before their BG is marked completed

Just got a ghost update (February 1st) but nothing else is updated. Everything is still in progress, but the application history says "1 new update" and reads: We have received your application and have begun to process your application. Information about next steps and required action items will be coming soon.

I'm hoping this means a test invite!

Hello Everyone,
I need feedbacks from the successful applications please.

Was wondering, if anyone of you here who has passport stamps in UAE & Oman? did you translate the stamps of those countries? There's an English date on it and you would be able to distinguish from the stamps the country and date. I'm just not sure if I still need to translate them. Would really appreciate your insights.

Thank you in advance.

I have submitted application with family. For adult application date is 31st January and for children it’s 1st February. Physically present days are 1101. Is it required to have all applicants have save signed apply date? Or you think it’s fine. Please advise if anyone came across this scenario.

I have stamps from UAE, and I submitted my application without translation and got my AOR, the stamps in English so the translation is not required! I don't know about Oman.

Oath officer will confirm the address with you to send the citizenship certificate and can change it too if its not updated.

I have had stamps from UAE, Qatar and Oman in Arabic but dates are English and I never got it translated. I received my AOR as well so did my family. so you are good to submit without translation but make sure you include all the history.
