I'm not sure if oath is Physical or Virtual.

We’re expecting a baby that same week, possibly even the same day .

So, we’ll need to move the Oath date by a couple of weeks at least and prefer a Virtual option.

When we can request the date change? Most threads mention after receiving the Invitation email but really appreciate if someone can confirm.

Or can I call directly to reschedule instead of waiting for the email?

Update :

Completed the virtual Oath ceremony today — it took about 1 hour (the letter mentioned 1.5 hours).

I am in the same situation, May applicant, only difference is my review is PM01. I suggest you start a new thread/post for this to see how many people are stuck here.

It seems like they have already concluded the least intensive search but there’s something for them to review/they simply forgot to update stuff.

Got GCMS, it states "Grant Review ready PM01"; Google says this means "your application is complete and ready for a first-level manager (PM01) to begin the final assessment for a decision to grant citizenship. "PM01" refers to the officer's level, indicating the application has passed preliminary checks and is now at the stage where an officer will review it for a decision."

concern i see: LPP assigned to another agent and due date updated as "2026/03/05"; does this mean officer has time till till this date and can be decided anytime soon
OR, shall i go in holiday mode and expect completion of this application only in March 2026.

Can any of you share similar observation from your GCMS to confirm you also noted date way later in future but decision made earlier than that date ?

Did you get update and in how many days was your application approved after due date

Pm03 means the level of officer pm01 and pm02 are junior officers who approves simple files and level above get complex files to get approval and get delay
