Oath Timeline after test at St. Clair Office

IT IS ABSOLUTELY CITIZENSHIP JUDGE TO APPROVE OR REJECT
IF YOUR NUMBER OF DAYS SHORT OF 1095 CHANCES ARE 50/50

Thanks, precisely that's my concerns right now. At least if they take quick decision & reject, I can re-apply and get thru this instead of waiting for ever in this suspense.

Dear Forum readers : I need help to understand if you are aware of any candidate across the country who with less than 1095 days minimum required days has been recently approved for Citizenship.

Myself and family have our PR's since Aug'2006. While my family & kids stayed here, I worked few months in USA in the last 4 years. preceding my application for citizenship in Feb'12 thru immigration attorney. Then RQ was'nt that common or rather CIC was lenient with this requirements.

Only upon receiving my first ATIP, I was shocked either due to attorney's oversight or overconfidence, my application was indeed submitted with 59 days short of 1095 days minimum required. Had I known this, I could have waited for 6 or more months after 1095 days to apply but now I'm already in this terrible situation.

Waiting since Mar'2014 after passing the test, I'm NOT sure what to expect either my case would be approved or get rejected, assigned to Citizenship judge. If so, estimated time frame. I have documents to prove that my family was here all along, credit cards transactions & paid taxes.

Any thoughts or sharing of experiences on this would be highly appreciated.

You have nothing to worry about as your residency days are above 950 days... The number of days short are not the ultimate deciding factor on one's citizenship application.

Thanks Rayan, I find it mere torture the CIC taking years to process, keeping everyone in dark & their lives on hold. If a candidate DOES NOT meet the basic requirement, CiC should reject his/her application immediately like their reject if a candidate pay even $5 short.

What's point in dragging them thru the ordeal of Citizenship test, years of waiting as its total waste of everyone's time & CIC of resources.

Under "Mandamus" law suite candidates have successfully sued the CIC and won. However its cost in excess of >$5000 which most of us cannot afford. Obviously there could be some provision where all candidates can collectively sue the CIC to remedy the situation.

No but we can all help defeat the governing party who is responsible for this mess. CIC is a boondoggle and a waste. It is 'Time' for some substantial changes.

I really have no idea why it takes them that long to process after test and interview, I have been always thinking once test is done then it is over :'(

Well keep us posted if anyone from Feb gets an oath invite. For most Feb 21st takers, we should be at our 6 month wait in a few days. lets see if cic can keep their word.

What a pathetic state of affair at CIC. Assumed because I got few days short for the minimum required days my case is getting delayed.
Surprisingly even candidates who fully met the requirements too are suffering, it just ridiculous and unaccepted delay.

Dont know if the so called CIC's new policies and hiring of over 300 CIC decision makers would ever have any positive effect or its an eye wash to ward off the severe criticism of CIC working style.

We have'nt notice any movement on Oath letters for sometime. Unless, the CIC staff is either preparing for marathon work in the coming months ;D ;D or away on summer vacations en-mass after resting for long months in the indoors at CIC offices. ;D ;D ;D

They just don't work as much as private sector employees do. They have their cushy govt-union jobs and they don't care about me and you much. There's no oversight either.

Have you taken the citizenship test yet? If not, then it is way way too early to worry about your oath. LOL! Maybe in a year?
