Yeah me too finally

 

[Aburayan]

I would like someone who attended the interview recently to share the experience with us please

Some people are getting approved same day and others in months

You say you received 2 requests for information in the 2 weeks after passing the test. Those requests might have a bearing on what is happening.

I didn't think that they would request anything after the test. We heard nothing after passing the test, until the notification of ceremony.

I know a lady passed the test but they told her they will send a request for more info. So her application was not approved yet

 

[Aburayan]

Yeah I uploaded these when I submitted the application. Did you submit form 1339? If not, they might ask for it. My friend was asked to submit that form even after her passing the exam.

Hi all,

My friend who applied for citizenship by conferral 5 months ago just received his notification of approval of Australian citizenship. He sent me the letter and I'm looking at it now.

On the website it says that 90% of applications are processed within 17 months.

For people who follow this thread or in the know, is it common to see applications processed in 5 months?

Yes, I know a guy got his citizenship certificate after 7 months from applying. Si it is not uncommon

 

[Aburayan]

8 months between test date and ceremony.

May I ask when was your ceremony and where?

Congrats.. I thought they send the invitation to ceremony 4 weeks before ceremony day

 

[Aburayan]

Anyone knows the coming ceremony dates for Brisbane council for 2023? Obviously the next one will be on Australia day but what about the other dates

 

[Aburayan]

Hello everybody, if I receive the invitation, do I need to confirm my attendance or no need?

 

[Aburayan]

Hi, our understanding is that going O/S will not affect the date of your ceremony. Home Affairs/Immi organise everything and forward your details along with the certificate to your local council and it's the council events people who send out the invites 3-4 weeks ahead of the ceremony date. That is what we were told by our local council here in Bendigo Victoria.

Fingers crossed!

So who send the invites? Home affairs or the council? Do we need to confirm attendance?

 

[Aburayan]

The local council sent the invite for my wife last year.

I know a friend in Sydney, got his invite by email from home affairs while I heard from some other guys receiving the invite by mail from the council. I am so confused. I guess I need to wait and see

 

[Aburayan]

Thanks for your reply mate. The last line explains everthing
