I took the plunge and applied for citizenship through decent (Grandmother) on June 16th 2019, my application...

Congrats to all who have been "put in the book" -hoping that they start processing faster but that's wishful thinking I'm guessing

jgclancy 2 months down and a long way to go!

Did that work though? I'd rather not spend time/money on something that isn't required.

I'll know next year! You can just call and ask them. Didn't cost me a dime to notarize since my bank does it for free.

Hello all, So I keep reading conflicting information on this. My witness (credit union manager) signed my application form today and my photos. They also signed and dated the back of the photocopy of my passport. Is this sufficient to certify it as a true copy of the original or should I get it not...

This morning I received an email from the FBR office saying you will soon be added to the FBR. Please confirm your mailing address by replying !

Is this real? I can’t believe it!

Laurie

CONGRATS!!!

I guess I'll find out next year (hopefully they look at my application by then) if how I did it was acceptable for FBR. Otherwise,it'll take longer but at this early stage & how long it now takes for processing I won't really care. When I reach the passport phase(assuming I'll get FBR) I'll just...

The sign/stamp/date instructions for the photographs is really just so poorly written & vague.I mean signing/dating the back of such a small photo seems ridiculous to begin with to me. The part about stamping at first glance would indicate you have to stamp the back of the photos too! But common...
