Re: Citizenship Application Timeline
Well, still no news on my application - I just checked and it still says "Processing"
They started processing on December 4th - they received my application in September and opened it on November 21st.
No request for fingerprints, but apparently this is usually only for people with common names, or names that are similar to persons "Of Interest"

- We sent you correspondence on November 26, 2018. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required. (Finger Prints, lucky me, received letter for finger prints on 30th Nov)
