Didn't see a 2021 timeline thread so thought I would start one.
Application submitted: 8 March 2021
Invitation to sit the test: 20 May 2021
Interview and Test: 14 June 2021
Approved:14 June 2021
Really seamless process. Appointment time was 3:30. They let us in at 3:10. I waited in the waiting room for maybe 2 minutes. Friendly lady calls me to the counter. Asks to see my passport. I start to get all my other paperwork out and she says hold off, I think I have everything here in the system already. She says yes she does - doesn't look at anything other than my passport. I take the test on an iPad in front of her. The test takes all of 5 minutes - super easy questions - score 100%. Sadly she won't let me take a photo of the 100% on the iPad.
She says usually it takes about two weeks for everything to be approved, but she can see I have everything in my file as requested, she reviews everything again and she says she is going to go ahead and approve it. She says a wait of approximately 6-8 months for ceremony, but otherwise all done.
Go home and log into immi account - and it says Approved!
I'm still amazed, my appointment wasn't until 3:30, and I left the immi office at 3:29 with everything approved. I hope everyone else has as good of an experience as I did. Now we wait for council...
