@AnonyKaty Thank you. To understand, lets say, if they schedule from 2pm to 4. I'll need to join the meeting at 12:05 to be in queue to verify my card. So the whole process will take approx. 4 hours?
Log in at the time of your oath. So if it starts at 2 PM, you log into Zoom at 2 PM. You would block 2 hours after the start time that they gave you to complete the oath ceremony. That will include them verifying your identity, taking your oath, and hearing about next steps.

Updated today.

App Date: 3rd June
AOR: 4th July
Background: 21st July
Test Invite: 31st Aug
Took test: 4th Sept
Test Completed: 26th Sept
GCMS notes received: 25th Oct
LPP: Oct 24th - Shows completed on 26th Oct.
E-certificate download instruction: 31st Oct.
Citizenship ceremony: In-progress and scheduled for 22nd Nov.

Yet to receive official invite with all info.

Couple of things I noticed,
- Tracker updates every morning
- They must be using Business tier of zoom with 300 participants
- They may be doing all scheduling and sending invite for Oath manually. Since they first put your name on the list (and you receive e-certificate download instruction).
- Then they create zoom meeting and link for each participants, and send to the candidate. Since they probably are using zoom meeting, it shouldn't be too manual.
Hi Tejas,
Congratulations.
I just saw a ghost update on a tracker . Everything was turned green on Oct 27.
In your case , whether the tracker was updated first or you received e certification download email first ?

Quick question for you: When did you request the GCMS notes (trying to gauge turn around time).

2-5 business days. Try everyday for 5 business days. If you are still not able to download, you should contact the office.
