Hi Folks,
I have three important questions and would really appreciate any advice from people in a similar situation. To give you a background - I'm traveling in January 2023 for a family wedding. And my PR is expiring in Feb.
1. I have applied for Citizenship and it is currently in process. The only thing pending is the decision. Now based on the current processing times, it makes sense to apply for a Renewal of PR so that I can travel in Jan. Can I apply for a renewal of PR at the same time as the citizen application in process?
2. Seems like the new online PR application is quite buggy. Is it better to apply online or a paper application? If I'm sending a paper application, can I send all the applications in my family in one envelope(Similar to Citizenship) or do I need to send an individual application for each family member?
3. Based on the Citizenship tracker, I should have received the invitation for Oath. However, since 5 months are very less time to apply for a passport and Indian visa & in case i get an invitation for an Oath in the coming months, can I ask to defer it after I come back from India?
Would really appreciate responses as I need to file for PR asap.
Thanks
