December 2017 - Citizenship Applicants

[VFX_man]

So has your application moved from in-process to dm yet? if so, how much time did it take. if not, how long has it been since exam?

Guess I was lucky - was moved to DM the next day. But my co-worker is still in the limbo stage after 5 weeks.

Test Invite Date: 11th Sept 2018
Test Date: 28th Sept
For both me and husband.

Test passed : 19/20. Interview for barely 2 mins and officer said that we should receive oath invite in 6-8 weeks. Finally after a long wait...

There are 200 days buffer and 80 missing days from the original calculation.

How did you miss 80 days???

Needless to say this isn't a small detail - applicants go to significant lengths to make sure they are as accurate as possible.

Anyone here still stuck since Dec 2017 ... getting frustrated...

Same

Hi
I’ll get my oath soon and next step will be apply for Passport.
Do we need minor birth certificate while applying for Passport or is Citizenship certificate enough?
If we do need Birth Certificate then
One of my sons was born has Birth certificate in Arabic. Do I need to get it Translated?
I got it translated but sent original with Citizenship Application,
Will the copy work?

Hi all,
I have received citizenship test for next month. But I haven't gotten anything for my 5 year old son.
Do I need to bring him with me for having his documents verified with me? Or Do I need to bring only his documents?
Or are his documents to be verified on the day of oath ceremony?
Thanks.​
