I submitted my application in August of 2020 and received AOR in December 2020. I finally took the citizenship test in January of this year and passed. By February 9th, everything was moved to completed except the ceremony. I really need this to hurry up as I have a trip back to the UK for Christmas and I know everything takes so long. I need my passport by then. Really hoping I get a ceremony invite soon.

I had my test passed in late January and nothing changed other than the test completion. Still havent heard a thing since then but seems like most people who did tests around the same time have had ceremonies by now.

The processing time is so poor for something thats submitted online.
