It looks still in nap after year end. My wife did online test on December 30, still no update.
Oh wow, it usually doesn't take that long. Mine took 3 days. This pandemic is really getting to everyone. Things are becoming extremely slow now. Hopefully things will pick up in the next couple of weeks. Crossing my fingers

The date in my tracker changed to Jan 12. But I cannot see any update. Is this normal? Is there a real update? Or just a ghost update but nothing. important. Please respond. Thanks

It's a ghost update, I got one too and then a few days later everything changed to complete on my tracker. You should see an update soon!
What's your status right now, are you done your test yet?

It will take about 2 weeks to get Oath Invite and may be another 2 weeks for the Virtual Oath Ceremony, That's what I experienced for my application.
