Hey guys, quick update!
I got a ghost update today and my ECAS is now showing Decision made again....
Hey there, Did you end up getting an Oath invitation yet? After how many days of Decision made again, did you receive the invite? I am in similar situation. DM to IP to DM again.

I wonder if they are redoing background checks early, before the 1 year mark? Since you're about 11 months past your background check.

What is your processing office?

Ottawa. Even if it is decision made on old ecas tracker, do they conduct background check again?

First of all, is it the background check that expires after a year or the fingerprint results? Iirc it's just the FP results.

How frequently have we seen BG Complete/DM -------> BG In Progress among 2020/19 applicants waiting for oath that were never fingerprinted and they did whole another BG check?

Secondly, were you fingerprinted during the citizenship process?

My guess is for those who were not fingerprinted, when the status changes from BG Complete/DM to BG In Progress, you'll get DM again very soon and for those that were fingerprinted, they'll get FP request again if it's been a year since the last FP.
