Traveling while Citizenship Application is still 'RECEIVED'

Hi All,

I'm hoping someone could answer a few questions, I apologise if these questions have come up before. If someone could point me to the right direction, that would be greatly appreciated

I applied for citizenship by conferral last Aug 2022, status of application is still 'RECEIVED'. When I filled out the application, I said yes when asked if I had plans to depart Australia within 12 months of the application.

I am now planning to go overseas in May (and maybe November)

My questions are:

Do I need to let Immi/someone know that I will out of Australia for a few weeks? How and how soon?
What is the next stage to received?
What would happen if my application gets processed from received to the next stage and I'm overseas?

TIA!

Hi there,

I have a question.

So I applied on Aug 26 2022. From then to now, I have been offshore for 3 months, onshore for 3 months.

My scheduled test date is 4 April. I can make the test + interview date and time, but I will have to leave the country in the same evening due to family and work commitments.

I will only return on Monday, 14 August 2023 and stay then on with no travel plans.

Can I understand if I can travel after a test/interview and before the application status is updated to approved?

Thank you
