I am kinda noticing after reading a few forums, but can be wrong. That anyone scoring a 20/20 on the citizenship test, tend to get the oath invite right away or sooner then others.
Do you guys agree or differ?

You might be wrong. Score has nothing to do with Oath date.
I'm living proof and I've seen many with 20/20 not getting the invite right away.
It's a long process, the immigration agents are speeding up the work, there will be cases where they will be slower due to unknown factors (fingerprints checks, travel history, papers missing).

Based on what I've been seeing the process is actually getting faster. From 2 years to 6 months in some cases.
That's something we should actually celebrate and be grateful for.
Hopefully they will get it even faster for the upcoming applicants.

Paper colors, score have nothing to do with the OATH date. They are just coincidences.

Hello paulcanada74 and morzilla,
Thanks for the reply. What are they doing after the citizenship test is passed? I don't understand, taking 4-6 months to send oath dates.
A friend of mine went for the test (result: 20/20) today at London local office, he got the same answer 2-3 months.

Hello guys.

I will be travelling soon and I am wondering if the CIC just sends just a letter to inform you of your test date or it will be updated online first/at the same time? I will be checking the site everyday but I won't see the letter until I come back. And I hear sometimes they give very little notice. I don't want to miss it.

Thank you.

In my case they never updated eCAS with test/oath invitation; it went straight from In Process to Complete and that after at least two weeks after the oath.
Dont count on eCAS.

It usually takes between 2 weeks to 1 month. But these numbers vary depending the local office. And test is about 2 weeks after you receive your invitation.

All she said was you will receive invite on your mail and she did not mention anything in regards of how long it will take.
