It’s been an exhausting journey for me (because I didn’t apply citizenship), but everyone here offered me great help and kind advice. Btw, It’s been weeks, my lawyer still hasn’t received my 48 extension letter but that doesn’t matter any more.
I remember someone mentioned if you are close to end of the processing time, applying citizenship may not be helpful, instead, waiting patiently for ROC would be better. This worked for me personally.
