Hi everyone. I've just received an email that my ceremony (supposed to be this Thursday) was mistakenly scheduled and it was an administrative error and I'll be informed later when my new ceremony will be held. I received an Oath invitation back in October 31. Anybody experienced the same??

You can try your luck, I was able to connect to an agent after 17 calls I think and all they said was my application is still within the expected timeline. Just letting you know before you end up calling them 17 times lol.

Got confirmation that my document was added to my file, and a request for fingerprints today. I'll be giving them tomorrow asap!

What is the update on your citizenship application? Do you think not including your visitors visas impacted the processing time for you? I'm in the same boat. But I sent them a letter of explanation listing all countries and including the dates.
