I have the oath ceremony on a Friday at 1:30pm. I have to be in the US asap afterwards. From all that I've read here it seems like ECAS might be updated as early as the Monday morning after. If I'd do 24h express, the passport would be there the next day from what it sounds. BUT I was wondering...

Hey, I just noticed I added the date when I moved into a place which is way before the eligibility period. It just asks to answer during eligibility. So technically it should the field "From" should start with the eligibility period and not before that. This is not a reason for the app to be...

Hi there, I recently applied and my friend and I now thinking of doing a backpacking trip in a couple months. I could potentially fly back during the trip but I would prefer not to. 1. If I just request a new test date right after getting the notice, how much later will a new date usually be...

Hi there, I'm about to start to apply for citizenship. After some research I figured it's best to get the Travel History Report because I might miss a few one day US trips.
