    I keep hoping to see an update in the tracker but nothing since the Background complete on July 14th.. I'm still optimistic for mid-sept for Prohibitions and PhP... As I'm over 54, I'm exempt from the Lang/Citizenship testing. I'm predicting to have Oath scheduled in October. I shouldn't say...

    Someone else said the same thing. I don’t believe it was a factor, conspiracies of that kind don’t stay quiet. Plus, I don’t believe newly minted citizens race to vote. That said, the change in pace does seem to be real and I don’t have an answer for why.

    Citizenship time, need advise !!!

    I’m not sure how they will count your time before the PR, generally it’s 50% credit but that may have limits. Either way, if their calculations say the earliest for you is Aug 28th then I would wait for another 30-60 days (I.e. Oct 28) before applying. Having some cushion for miscalculations...

    Looking at the tracker spreadsheet from March, there are a good number of applicants that have already completed their oath ceremony. So logically (even though logic may not apply), they are two months ahead of us hence my guess we are two months behind them. There is even one in the April...

    It is rather weird, or at least not obvious to me, what the “presence” and “prohibitions” takes so long once the background check is completed. I would have those the background check would have highlighted and issues that could prohibit the applicant. I would have also thought the presence...

    I doubt there is any correlation. Seems each of the checks are done independently of each other looking at past months.

    I hadn't checked my tracker account for a week+ so just did and to my surprise it was updated with Background Check Completed... Progress!

    Why Exemption from Test Over 55?

    I’m not…. One less thing I have to schedule. I’ll do some self study out of my own curiosity and desire to participate in our community.

    Are Finger Print requests by exception, random or everyone?

    I’ve searched the forums but didn’t see an answer. Just curious if everyone should expect a FP request or if this is just random and/or exceptions..

    I'm over 54 so dont have to take the test(s). Not sure what I should expect as the next step in the process, assuming background check but no idea how long that will take.

    Sorry, I had meant to say background checks.
