September 2022 - Citizenship Applicants

[forw.jane]

Thank you! I found this post in my searches as well. I have left my question there too.

But it looks like the "Application Assignment" is what I should be seeing. It is BLANK in both sets of notes. There has to be an officer assigned with a due date. That's when I can expect some movement on my file.

That's the tough bit. Getting someone to look into the file.

For me, it took exactly 1 month

Just thought of sharing this. BLS is the WORSTTT. I went today to BLS Toronto to submit my surrender certificate application for both my husband and myself and had the worst experience. My application was accepted with no issues but the lady did not accept my husband's application stating there is a name correction required. Name correction was required just because his mother's first and middle name didn't have space it in.

First I don't understand why they have a printing facility provided at the same spot when they not even gonna accept correction same day. (Waste of time and money)

There is so much politics going on inside as I saw another person who was at the printing facility getting the form corrected and reprinted. The guy who was handling his application accepted his corrected application with no issues but the lady who was dealing with me refused straight up on my face.

When I pointed it out, she is like okay just wait for me as I am in the middle of an application and then I can talk to you. And while I was waiting that guy who accepted the corrected application for the other guy whispered to her that don't accept her application today and ask her to come back, why just coz I pointed out what he was doing. I am glad atleast I pointed it out to them that I am not stupid and notice what favours you are doing here to certain people.

The worst of all was the Security guy. My husband asked him that can I bring something to eat inside as my wife is pregnant? And the guy is like no she has to go outside to eat. Inhumanity to the next level.

I don't like saying this as I still always will adore my birth country but people like these make things look bad.

There is absolute no system at BLS and the people who are working there are just absolutely good for nothing.

Tomorrow it will be 60 days since LPP completed and nothing since… Am I in for a record or something? I can’t acess ecas, but I imagine that if I hadn’t passed LPP they would have sent me something, right? So if my application has been approved why is the oath date taking so long?

Really bad experience. Eventhough the office is in a foreign land the experience at BLS is typical visit to a Indian Gov office. The stress is at the next level. Sometimes I feel things have improved in India but BLS is still stuck in the past. Getting PCC was so easy in India, here it was a tough nut to crack. You still have one more Everest to climb with OCI

I swear to god, it is the worst. The security guard over there felt as if like he has been given some power by Consulate to treat people whatever way he wanted. Appointment thing that was introduced is the only way for you to get inside and in that too you would wait at-least an hour. This one person I saw lined up for walkin at 5 in the morning today and his turn came around 10 o clock. I felt so bad for him. Walk-in makes no sense coz people there who lined up at 8 in the morning had no chance of going in coz people who are coming with appointments are also waiting 1 hour minimum to get to the main counter.
They got so many applicants with only 3-4 counters opened at a time.

Can't this whole process be done over mail? Do we HAVE to go in for the passport surrender? Im travelling to UAE early next year, if its so bad here I'm thinking ill do the passport surrender from there instead.
