Check with your bank. They would know what happened

Thank you. Yes, all within 2 days

I expected another 1-2 weeks for you, but I was wrong, which is of course good

I don't agree with @tarekh
Do NOT do this. The only way for you to do it is if you guarantor signs your application with a later date, but you don't even know when you'll receive your certificate and you can't apply until you have it. You won't know the date your certificate was issued until you receive it. The date on your passport application can't be before the date of issue of your citizenship certificate.
Use common sense, guys. just wait!

My opinion is based on that, the Certificate date is the date of the oath. The only missing info is certificate no. If the guarantor signs after it, I believe its OK. The passport officer doesn't care about the date of delivery because some people receive the certificate after 3 days and others more.

I’m in the same boat with you buddy. Application reached on Feb 9, up till now not even CC charged. I wish I waited out for in person appointments. The whole system is a fucking joke.

Thanks for responding . Totally agree ...wish we have waited for In-Person Appt . Hope to get our CC charged at least this week ...Fingers crossed !!

Credit card charged on a Saturday? Interesting

What is your timeline?

 

[thewaitinggame90]

I've seen people get either their cards charged or calls over the weekend. Is it a possibility that they print passports on the weekend too?
