February 2018 - Citizenship Applicant

[Picolo]

Dear Fellow applicants,
I am coming to you to seek some counsel.

My ECAS are still showing "In Process" but on friday I received two new updates that respectively said: 1. I have to write the citizenship test on October 10th; 2. I have to appear for the oath of citizenship on October 11th.

Based on what I've read on this forum, these 2 events usually are not this close and I am wondering if its normal.
I am not complaining as I think it would be great to get it over with, but just wondering if anybody else has seen this before?

Omg! i cant remember a lot of years names of the people. i have never been this stressed in my life! dont know where or what to focus. Im so nervous and not confident. I really want to pass

I felt the same way at first. So what I did, I went through all websites offering free exams and practiced and practiced. I got an idea what to focus on. Then after I read the book, things became clearer. I had two sheets on hand, the first, whenever I encounter a date/year I will write it and specify what happened in that year. On the other sheet, I did the same, but with people names. Made things easier to review. The exam I went for was much easier than any of the practice tests. 20/20

This close, never. Usually weeks. I was surprised in my case it was 13 days. One of the fastest. You beat the record. Possibly someone had to reschedule and a spot opened, and that's why you were called.

That's what I thought too !!
They said they sent both letters by the mail last week; so I should probably receive them today with more details.
Hopefully it's not an error on their end...'cause i would really like to finish this in 2 days.

This is just normal. It happens to some applicants like me (I’m a March applicant). In my application my ECas was updated same day for invitation to take the test and oathtaking. I had my test on Sept 14, passed my test and had my oathtaking the same day (Sept. 14).

Please update both me and my wife passed test 20/20. Looks like no chance of getting oath soon as they said process to be finished by 1 year (applicable to all not only for me). Was expecting to hear 4-6 weeks

Don’t worry, that is standard time. I was told the same thing and my status changed to DM 2 weeks after my test
