Hi samlk, I do not want to disappoint you but I don't think they will change your mark! I have done it once but they didn't change it. Of course, you can take the risk. But if you want to re-sit for the exam, search Ryan English in youtube and he might be able to help you! Cheers,

Hi, Just wondering if anyone can help get a job in electronic/microelectronic field? I can move overseas as well. Thanks

Hi Jennychin1210, I have no experience in those areas but I can tell you that the list you are referring to is USELESS! Search seek.com.au . If you do find a lot of jobs then there is a good chance you can secure a job in Queensland. Cheers

Hi Karen, I know exactly how you feel but don't give up. Just practise. Get those Cambridge IETLS books and practise as much as you can! Believe me reading is actually not that hard!Most people have problems with writing section. Also, here is a very useful link so you can improve your writing skills. http://www.youtube.com/user/EnglishRyan/videos?view=1&flow=grid Cheers

I believe it is the same thing! They just ask for documents that you uploaded prior.

Hi kempster23a, Just talked to DIAC!!!!! They say 3-6 months waiting period! I just don't understand why can't they tell us the exact ceremony date right after the approval? They have computers!!, they know where applicants live and they know the number of people attending the ceremony at each council! it is just a simple math question! It seems that I have to wait until April at least! let me know if you get your invitation Good luck

Hi streya, When did you apply for your citizenship? Have you received your invitation? If so, what council? Cheers

Hi there, It really depends on your prognosis and any possible cause for having HBP. I had a coarctation of the aorta, and I had a minor surgery here. But they granted the PR so DON'T WORRY!

Just wondering what did you ask? they are usually reluctant to give out any information.

Hi there, Question, Do you live in Sydney? I don't think they will help you. You could also go to the Immigration office and explain your situation.If you have substantial reason they may change your test date. Cheers

Hi there, It depends where you live! I live in Sydney and had my interview at CBD office. And here is my timeline: Lodged online :17/1/2013 Test Booked: 23/1/2013 Test date: 7/2/2013 Approval: 7/2/2013 Ceremony: ??? (please let it be April, please, pretty please!) Cheers

Hi there, It depends on different factors such your residential address at the time of lodge. "how long it takes to come through" It could take up to a year in some rare cases, but normally 4-5 months. "do I have to wait until a specific time for the ceremony" No, your local council will send an invitation letter, though you may contact them and ask them to change to a different time. "how much does it cost" I think it costs about 250 you can find all the information here. http://www.citizenship.gov.au Cheers

Hi, I do believe you are looking at here :http://www.citizenship.gov.au/applying/fees_forms_appeals/online_apps/ However you should scroll down and click on [h=2]Choose your online application form[/h]then you' ll see : You will need to use your Saved Application ID and password. See: Continue a saved online application click on the "Continue a saved online application" and you can start your application! The "planned system maintenance" is nothing important! let me know if I can help you further!

Interesting! I live in Sydney and I applied for citizenship on 17th of Jan, they contacted me 2 or 3 days later and booked me in for 7th of Feb. I reckon it is the number of applications that slow down the process. Be patient and hopefully they will contact you soon!

Do we have anyone here who had a ceremony in Randwick council? My application has been approved and I am just awaiting .... and I am sick of waiting! Cheers

Electrical eng is not that bad! but electronic IS!!!!! I have applied for about 400+ jobs, got 10 phone calls and no interview! search seek.com.au!
