This is a great result for you jaydenj, I wish you the best for your upcoming test in October.
On the other hand, it does baffle me, and probably others who have had simple applications in the system since the first half of 2018. This has to be one of THE most inefficient departments in all of government, with no accountability to anyone.

Happy to share my experience, although ours was not a complex case.
what do you mean by "paper application was invalid"?
Do you mean they rejected the paper application due to the lack of your birth certificate?
I have applied on 3rd May 2019, 2 days after your initial application by paper form and they accepted. There was a certified copy of my birth certificate though.

It shows "Approved" on my ImmiAccount but I haven't received an e-mail or posted letter confirming it yet. How long have other people had to wait before they get the letter in the post regarding approval?
I don't really know if I'm relevant here but I just want to share that I finally got the email for the exam date. I am scheduled next week.
Mine took a year and a half of wait.

Hi everyone.
Can i ask if anyone has applied for citizenship in 2017 and still waiting for test invitation.
If any ,plz share your timeline cause im still waiting from October 2017 and havent received test invitation yet.
Is there any place to complaint about that long process that ruins all your future plans ,especially when you see it is unfair at all between case and case .
So disappointed of that process.
Opinions appreciated .
Thanks.
Just to provide futher information, I am going to include the documents I am taking with me to assist other through their journey.
- Identity confirming name, gender, parents and place of birth : Birth Certificate issued by the Indian consulate in Melbourne.
- Proof of First arrival in Australia: My old passport with arrival stamps in it.
- Identity proof: My current passport and Australian Driving License.
- Address Proof: Water Bill & My current Lease.
- Additional documentation: AFP Police check. It doesn't specifically ask for it but I thought, might as well. 8 days to my interview and test.
Hopefully approval comes soon after followed by the ceremony. Hoping to get it all sorted before 2020 kicks in but not holding my breath.
I applied for my citizenship on the 8th of March 2019. I’m pretty lucky to hear from them again confirming my exam on the 20th of June 2019.
My exam based on their schedule is on the 29th of July. I unfortunately will not be free on this date. I tried rescheduling my exam but the dates are only available sometime end of the year - December. Is there a chance I can get an earlier schedule? Just asking to see and know what people’s experiences are.

Hi guys, i am eligible to apply for citizenship after 2nd of Aug,2019 (4years as PR) , should i apply straight away ?
i have to leave Aus for 3 months by end of this year, will it be better idea to lodge citizenship application after returning to Aus ? does delay in applying Citizenship impacts your chances/or gives bad impression ?
No. I am pretty sure a delay in applying does not give a bad impression.
I delayed my application by 23 years, and got my citizenship pretty quickly, when I finally decided to go through with it.
I am interested however in any time outside Australia, after applying, will have any effect on the decision, for my wife who becomes eligible in February.

My citizenship application has been approved but now I wish to change my postal address from my home address to my work address. Do I do it on immi account > update details > change of address?
If you applied online or imported your paper application, then you can update your postal and residential address online your immiaccount. Go to "update details" button and select the "Change of address details".
