May 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[navrajan88]

Exact timeline as yours. GCMS says Language Prohibition not started

Lets hope we get some movement before April 2024. I will give my feedback on the whole journey if it all they ask me for one during my oath ceremony, Application processing should be First In First Out(FIFO), it cannot be randomly picking applications and granting them, especially the ones which got approved in 2-3 months of applying, that is really unfair!

We can only hope for the best and prepare for the worst at the moment and wait patiently. I have tried reaching out to my constituency MP to get status update of my application via his office, ordered GCMS notes twice, all the while thinking that it could trigger a movement of my application. But nothing happened till now. They will look into your application only when they want to. Due date mentioned on my GCMS notes for making a decision is August 2024. I just hope now that don't have to wait that long. Lets see!

[Kellykaffy]

I have exact same timeline as yours except my application sent date is May 27, 2023. I am still waiting for my LPP to be completed. GCMS notes does not say anything. Looks like they put a bunch of applications like us to a triage process, probably they are going to look at it at a specific date.

Almost thesame timeliness
Application received May 9th
Test updated July 4th
Family of 6 Application
Paper Application
2 ghost update October 16th and October 27th
Am still waiting for LPP.

 

[jobishis]

As per my understanding from this Forum there are lot of people waiting for LPP completion. Those who completed their test on June or July.

Over the last 30 days has anyone received an oath invite? I've read through all the comments so I'm up to date with most of it but is there anyone else here who can share the updates specifically for receiving an oath invite would be great.

I'm part of a group application and I'm done with my oath but my other family member is still all in-progress.

I hope we get to see some progress soon. I am still waiting for GCMS notes but honestly don't have much hopes. I know so many folks who applied after us, completed their test in Oct 2023 and have their oath ceremony scheduled in few days.

I saw a few posts where folks said they are hopeful about some movement on their application by April 2024. Just curious - what's in April 2024?

Hi navrajan88 - I have also requested GCMS notes (paid option) but I just received a generic reply with no PDF/ documents attached as other folks have reported receiving. So I re-requested them explicitly mentioning that I wanted detailed GCMS notes under the privacy act (free option). They got back and requested me to send a consent for to release records of my spouse (it's a family of 2 group application). And it's been a week since providing this, no further updates.

How long did it take for you to receive the GCMS notes and did you request it from ATIP website under privacy act or chose the other paid option? Thanks in advance!

At present they are taking 3-4 weeks for GCMS notes under privacy act. I have a group application as well, but I order separate notes for each applicant.

So I received my GCMS notes late last night (took about three weeks from request) and my primary office is Sydney and secondary is Scarborough. That is not great news is it? Seems to be the two slowest offices based on what I've seen on this thread. Nothing out of the ordinary on the rest of the report, app status is "In Progress-CP."
