Hi Nela, Thanks for sharing your time line. Can you please share what all documents that were requested in Oct? Thanks in advance.

They requested a document of a name change...
Since I am in the process of divorcing i thought that it's OK to put my last name as it was before my marriage, (there is a part in the citizenship application where it ask you what name would you like to appear on your citizenship card).
The same day I send them back a registered letter advising them to go ahead and just process my application as it is on my immigration documents, with the last name that i still have. My plus my husbands last name as I have 2 :-))

Thanks for the time and reply
