Mine took a bit over 2 hours, it takes them a long time to check everybody in, so I wouldn't count on it being so short.

I just called them! The representative asked me to attend the first (if possible) one as both dates are scheduled for my ceremony. And to let the officer know about the scheduling on another day too. She kept me on hold for sometime when I mentioned that I got both invites trying to find out what to reply but still didn't seem very sure when she got back.

Hi Krishn, did you apply for e-certificate? If you did and since we were in the same ceremony, can you let me know once you have it available for download? I will do the same on my end

Hi guys, Can your application still get rejected after all the sections are marked "complete"? (Except the ceremony)

No it can not if all sections are complete it means decision is made and you are already there only legal formality of oath taking is remaining

Hello Guys, I have received oath invitation for myself but did not receive it for my son (minor). I have applied for me and my son together as family application. However in application form of my son, I mentioned ‘NO’ for question 11. Select yes or no to indicate if you wish that a minor under 14 years of ageparticipates in a citizenship ceremony”

Can anyone suggest, if this is the reason why I did not receive oath invitation for my son or should I still receive it?

Thanks.

Hello @hiren1334 , I have a minor and opted the same as you did with respect to citizenship ceremony. Hope same will happen for him.

One question though, For me and my wife I see the LPP complete but no change in any of the fields for my minor son since the time I got the AOR. Is that expected for a minor? Probably goes to completed for them at one go, I am just assuming

Yes minor application completes when parents completes. They don't have status transition like Adults.
