April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

[moscatojuices]

April applicant here. Honestly I was one of those people who rushed to apply. I think I was at 1099 days.

Never did I think August/September applicants are already getting passports, while April applicants are just now getting oath's scheduled.

Never did I think August/September applicants are already getting passports, while April applicants are just now getting oath's scheduled.

I don't know why anyone is surprised about this - apart from the usual "well I didn't think it would apply to me" cognitive bias.

It literally is a thing for every single monthly cohort - some applications go faster than others, and some proportion of the people from Month X start posting "I never thought people at month X + [4-10] would be getting oaths before me."

They are NOT processed first-in first-out. Some go faster than others. It's a bummer but it should not be a surprise. It often happens with many types of PR applications, too.

And yes, following far too much for my spouse's app, same situation. It sucks.
