Yesterday I received my oath invitation. Oath is scheduled for March 10. I hope that those who are waiting won't wait much longer.

When was your DM? Like the day all sections except oath were marked PASSED in tracker.

You already asked me this question two days ago and I replied "two and a half months after I passed the test". Also, my signature says: January 27. Hope this helps.

The ghost update is probably a renewal of your background check. I had the same thing and nothing more. I’m also 1 year and 9 months though citizenship test was completed in April 2021.

Almost 1 year after your test was completed?

Just completed my oath ceremony this morning! Overall a great experience. A few minutes after the ceremony they send you an email to which you have to reply with the signed oath form attached. There were about 70 people in the ceremony. It was a bit chaotic during the oath part since everyone has their mics on, but overall very good.
Now the wait for the certificate begins.

Congrats !
I didn’t know we receive separate email after ceremony to reply and attach the form. I thought we will be replying to the ceremony invitation email. Do you know if this is always the case?
Did you signed electronically or on paper? Any advise?:)

Yes, my test was completed on April 29, 2021 with 20/20. And it updated to complete on May 2, 2021. No more update since then.
You should probably follow up by calling. Many others who completed test after you have even completed the oath ceremony

Thanks! :) Yeah, they give you instructions in the oath invite PDF on where to send the form BUT during the actual ceremony, the clerk told us that they would send us an email right after the call to which we should reply and attach the form instead.
I printed it out, signed it by hand and then scanned it, seemed easier to me than to sign electronically.

I have called several times. The agent says everything is progressing normally and nothing is needed from me at this time. So I just have to wait because many others are still waiting. I have given up on this. But I hope my story will give you some hope that you are not alone. One day this all will end.

try contacting local MP. Your delay after test is unusually high.

What the hell are they doing with my application? I'm outrageous. People who applied later than me got their oath invitation. See my signature.

I did 6 months ago and they said the file is progressing normally. They give the MP the same information that I can see on the GCMS notes. Not really helpful.
