Hi All,

Hope all are in good health.

I am hoping someone will be able to shed some light here. When submitting an expedited request application, is the process that an acknowledgement letter is sent to the applicant first while the expedited request is reviewed? Or, does receipt of an acknowledgement letter without any reference made to the request to expedite indicate that the request has been denied and application will follow the normal process?

Many thanks!

Assuming for citizenship, they first send a letter with language like "your request has been sent to responsible office" where it's reviewed. I don't think they send any further correspondence indicating that urgent processing has been approved/denied but if it is approved then you should see your application moving a long pretty quickly in the status portal.

thank you ever so much for your response - I should have stated that it is in relation to citizenship as you correctly assumed, and the letter received is as you stated it would be, I was just wondering whether that letter means that they are reviewing the expedited request, or that it was reviewed and the decision was denied as the application would now proceed through the normal process - I will keep an eye on the portal as suggested, and thank you once again for your insight, very much appreciated.

Take care and all the very best to you.

One question if I may that I forgot to ask previously - how do I know if the application is moving a long pretty quickly? At the receipt of the AOR and after logging in, are Language Skills/Background Verification/Physical Presence/Prohibitions all meant to be listed as "Not Started" or "In Progress"?

Many thanks!
