Does anyone know how long after LPP completion Oath will be in progress? I see a lot of people who completed LPP in January had their oath in progress within a week, but why are there so many people who completed LPP in November or December still waiting for their oath to progress? Do you know what the maximum time is? For me, it's been more than 3 weeks since my LPP completion and I haven't received any updates or emails about the Oath.
it’s not helpful to compare your application work others. Files are processed in different locations and different officers. There are still some people who applied in 2022 that haven’t gotten their citizenship. I have seen people who applied in May 2023 that are still waiting

I can see the timeline for the Citizenship test date updated as Jan 17th - Feb 16th in tracker. Still waiting for the official test invite email.

Physical Presence Days:1121
Application returned: 2023-11-20
Application re-submitted: 2023-11-20

Reason:
Due to my kid’s Birth Certificate document was blank or NOT clear.
Earlier I have submitted with a scanned copy didn’t had any barcode to verify its originality.

Downloaded the Birth Certificate again which had a Bar Code to prove it is original with clarity.

Received AOR: 2023-12-12

I can see the timeline for the Citizenship test date updated as Jan 17th - Feb 16th in tracker. Still waiting for the official test invite email.

Got the Citizenship test invitation email today (01/15/2024)

Well I think it's just like any other ghost updates where the "Update" timestamp on the right top corner got updated, and all "Application History" entries are marked with a star but no actual updates are provided. None of the 6 boxes are showing any differences either.
