May 2019 Citizenship Application

[hanuz06]

Hello guys! I received AOR just now! Please update. I spoke with an agent today(btw he was very polite and helpful) and he advised me to wait for a couple of more weeks as the delay time is within the timeframe. Is it coincidence? I dunno but I am relieved. Hopefully all May applicants will receive AOR soon. Good luck everyone!

Not neccesarily.

Receiving a request for FP or RQ does make the application non-routine.

This link explains what is considered as a non-routine application.

"We consider your application non-routine if:..
... we need you to submit extra documents, like:

• fingerprints
• residence documents"

Mine would be non routine due to name change.

Hi all, I got my AOR email on Aug 8. Yay! If ECAS refers to the website where I can track my application status, then I also have that since Aug 9. Please update the spreadsheet accordingly.

Hi all, I got my AOR email on Aug 8. Yay! If ECAS refers to the website where I can track my application status, then I also have that since Aug 9. Please update the spreadsheet accordingly.

It refers to "in-progress" ECAS. What you most likely have listed on your ECAS is "application received". I believe a lot of people mistake this when updating the spreadsheet here.
