Hey everyone, so I finished my oath yesterday (Dec 21st). It was an online one for about 125 people—finally, a stable immigration situation, after a long wait. I received my citizenship certificate today (opted for e-certificate). Thanks to everyone on this thread for answering questions, giving useful tips and most importantly, keeping the spirits alive when things were dragging and cheering each other on. I will hang around on the forum if I can be of help in any way. My timeline below:

)
