when was the last time you checked and it was still IP in ecas?

I checked today and it says "Decision Made".

It switched to "Decision Made" at some point after July 4. I think in early September. But I wasn't checking very regularly.

Hi Admin,

Sorry, been away from the forums for sometime..

Could you please update the spreadsheet:
We sent you a notice on October 3, 2018 to appear and write the citizenship test on November 14, 2018.

Test was fairly simple - glad I passed... 4 days of studying and mock tests was good enough.

Unfortunately, I'm told that they were not able to confirm/ get information for some of the entry/ exit dates to the US. If they're unable to get it, then I'll be asked to go the FOIA route.. and this could delay (can take 3-5 months) the last step in the process; even though it's only a couple of days out of 1600+ days of presence..

Anyway, continuing to pray and hope it all works out soon.

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if any of you have requested to schedule your oath ceremony ever? I was invited to the ceremony for November 2nd after feel like waiting forever but unfortunately I was out of the country for something I couldn't reschedule. I did send them a letter asking for another date but I haven't heard back from them. Do you know how long it takes them to reschedule?

Thanks!

Oh, sorry to hear that. What does the FOIA mean? What is that?

Many thanks everyone for the journey! Hopefully everyone passes. For temp offices, you can predict when their test dates are by finding when their locations will be open. For the Sault, their location was shown online 3 months before my test invite. Depending on how frequent their temp office is for that location, the
oath ceremony is in the next 24-48 hours.
The test was reasonably easy. The basic online quizzes are enough. Remember to study all side captions and pictures

And I reached the finish line as well!

Please update the worksheet:

Oath: December 3

FOIA is Freedom of Information Act. If some information is not publicly available, we can request that information by submitting an FOIA request to that agency - U.S Customs and Border Protection. Here's the link - https://www.foia.gov/how-to.html

I'll know in a month - either a letter asking me for the U.S entry/ exits details from FOIA or to attend the oath ceremony.

Same thing happened to me today. Did you get a DM on your file or it is still under process?
