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.

Hi Diplomat,

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.

Please clarify for us here .

Thanks
Hassan

Hi

Just a quick question around when I can apply for my citizenship

I got 309 visa on 24th of November 2016 and entered to Australia on 17th Dec 2016

Got subclass 100 PR on 28th Aug 2018

When can I apply for my citizenship ??? Thank You
Entered Australia 17/12/16 + 4 years = 17/12/2020
PR on 28/8/18 + 1 year = 28/8/2019

Latest date of the two = 17/12/2020
That's the date you can apply for Citizenship, after 4 years residence in Australia.

What location?

The location of the applicant can make a massive difference.

Especially so for the eventual ceremony. Our area only does two per year.

Citizenship Eligibility: 20 Feb 2020

When you say rural, what part?

We will be looking at either Brisbane or Toowoomba, when the time comes for my wife.

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.

Hello Again!

I am back after probably couple of years or more.

I want to share my details with you guys.

Eligible to apply for citizenship on 18th June 2019
Applied: 27th June 2019
Acknowledged: 27th June 2019

Waiting game begins again!
Does that eligibility date mean you got your PR grant on 18/6/18?

Keep us updated with the Citizenship process, ours is early next year.

What council area will your citizenship be in?

Hi everyone,

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.

Hi everyone.

I just have a question.

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.

Appreciate all the help.

That's better timing than many get.

What is your location? Some areas are faster/slower than others.

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 ?

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.
