Mine is still 'Received. I applied 18th October 2017 and had the email confirming receipt but that's all the correspondence. I'm guessing I'm going to be one of those 10% that doesn't even get processed for a response or anything with the 15 months. You can' follow-up on the application either until it's been 15 months since submission.

I applied 18th October 2017 and still nothing from Immigration apart from 'Received' as my status. I had the email saying they had received it, that's all. I'm guessing I'll be either one of the 10% that isn't processed in the 15 months that they suggest and I'm starting to wonder if it was worth it in the first place, applying for citizenship. I'm concerned that I'll be told that my application isn't valid any more and I'll need to reapply and start the whole process again. It's not like my application is a difficult one: it's just for me as the sole applicant with no issues attached and I've been in Australia for 10 years and a permanent resident since 2009. If you call them up they can't (won't) do anything unless you've gone past the 15 month processing deadline and you just have to sit and wait. Absolutely rubbish service to be honest.

My wife and I are keen to meet others in the North Lakes area with young kids. We have a daughter who is almost 4 and a son who is coming on 18 months. Although we socialise with local playgroups many of the kids are just babies and it would be good to meet others who have young children who are a similar age as our and who live local to North Lakes and north Brisbane. We'll be no doubt going to the park in Aurora Boulevard this weekend (weather permitting) if anyone fancies having a kiddy meet.
