November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

[JEI-CAN]

So, you provided US address in "Current home address" as well as Mailing address? You have the option to pick the passport, tell them at the time of applying in person.

My address is in Europe, and I only put my current address, and thinking if I put anything to mailing address.. Yes, sure, I will tell/ask if I can pick up the passport. I try to make everything ready while waiting the Oath invitation. My plan is stay about 7 days, I think (hope) it should be enough to get the e-certificate and next-day passport..

Yes, you can pick your passport from the office for sure. You just need to tell them.

I'm a bit embarrassed to ask, since I've been on this board for a while and I should know, but how does one add/contribute info to the tracker? I've got two apps for November (family members) I'd add for.

Every month thread has members who handle it for everyone. If not, you can request edit permission on the Google Sheet, and once granted, you can update it yourself.

So just post info here and ask for it to be added by someone? I don't want to mess with the sheet. Although maybe I will.

Yes that's how it works. But if no one is volunteering to keep the sheet updated for that particular month you can manage your own entry by asking for edit permission.

Almost everyone just requests edit access and update it themselves, the person who owns the excel sheet responds quickly for permission requests.

After the test is taken, how long it takes to get the Oath ceremony date? I looked at the trackers and it seems to vary a lot. I'm in the US and need to plan because my kid can't travel during the month of May due to high school exams.

 

[armoured]

Does anyone how long for the background clearance? I thought it was suppose to be updated before the test?

Not necessarily. Lots of cases where it comes after.

Not necessarily. Lots of cases where it comes after.

If you get a test invite before your background clears, you're most likely getting a fingerprint request (like me and others).
