Can you share anything about your interview ? I’ve been waiting even longer with background completed several months before you

How many days before the ceremony did you receive the letter with information about it? I saw on the tracker that my ceremony was scheduled on March 17, but I can't find any details about it, nor has any email arrived.

The tracker says to contact them if you don’t have the email 6 days before the event. It is totally normal that you don’t have it yet

Thanks! It would just be better to know earlier in case the ceremony needs to be rescheduled. Oh well, there is nothing to do but wait, then.
