Maybe they are trying to catch up on the rest of September and previous months applicants. I guess we (most Sep applicants) are probably going to get the oath date at the same time (like a wave). I had to wait for almost 2 weeks for my tracker to get updated and show test completed and I remember you guys got that update in a few days. Now, I got a ghost update on December 13 which I’m hoping to see the actual update (LPP completed) tomorrow. To me, it seems like the overall timeline would be similar.

Yeah, it looks like it's slow this month. We are also waiting for LPP.

I have the same feeling. Movements of applications seem to be very slow lately. We'll probably wait til new year comes before it gets quicker again.

Government employees take vacations too. Just like everyone, many of them take their vacations in December. Slowdown due to that is expected. It will pick up pace in the new year.
