that's the point of this thread. take a look at some of timelines. there maybe be one similar to your situation.

You may be right. Or they could win and receive instant processing and or compensation. Its a tough decision to make and can take time and money. But it may be worth it for some win or lose. You have to be in it to win it or you have already lost.

How any here are going to be affected by the new changes?

Date applied City/Council area Online / Paper Date received the acknowledgement email Date of the Citizenship Test Date of ceremony Type of ceremony (Urgent/Normal) Date applied: 27/03/2015 City/Council area: Randwick - Ceremony sponsored by a club in Sydney not council Online / Paper: Online Date received the acknowledgement email: 01/04/2015 Date of the Citizenship Test: 29/04/2015 Date of ceremony: 28/06/2015 Type of ceremony: Normal

Randwick tries to process within 3 months. But of course it depends how many there are. We got our letter beginning of May . We were also Randwick. Fortunately a club wanted to sponsor a ceremony and we were asked if we wanted to do it with them at the end of June. So we got our citizenship 2 months after our test.

Hopefully this thread will be finished soon.

Everybody's journey is different. A year after finally getting PR we now have our citizenship. Yes there we some ups and downs, but with a bit of luck, lots of hard work and connecting and networking life is good. Hope the rest of the category 5's get processed soon so they too can gain control of their Australian journey.

That just says it will come into effect on 1 July, not when they will release it.

Are you in Category 5? If you are and have never received any information from DIBP or your agent, if you have one, it is always good to find out what your status is. Have you checked your status online at immiAccount?

The New Zealand shuffle

I wouldn't plan to much until you get your visa approved. Anything can happen on each step of the process from both the employer and DIBP side of things. You maybe able to see your F1 on a visitors visa, but if the 457 isn't approved or falls through you can't work.

Maybe so, but it worked for us at the bank, centrelink, work and Medicare. If it isn't accurate then DIBP should be contacted.

As mentioned it will have the information from the grant. You can also get free info from the VEVO system on the DIBP website. You can print out or direct the email to another recipient. Others can also access the site if they have the particulars of the grant. Best thing is it saves you $150 per label. http://www.immi.gov.au/Services/Pages/vevo/vevo-overview.aspx

True. But sometimes they wave it or when they want new customers reduce it?

As you are on a 457 now you also have to have private health insurance if not covered on a reciprocal arrangement. If this is the case you should looking into adding your girlfriend and pregnancy services just in case. If you are on a reciprocal arrangement check to see what it will cover in your situation (likely covered in public hospital).

Are we going to see the close out of the 175 subclass soon?

No stamp needed. Singapore is pretty advanced. You can always print out the grant letter you received or print out the letter from VEVO just in case. Though you may need something for Singapore. Not sure what the requirements for stays in Singapore for your country, as you would not be considered an Australian citizen.

You don't need a label anymore. The visa is electronic and attached to the passport you used in your application. If you get a new passport you have to notify DIBP to have it transferred. Of you need to prove that you have a visa you can access the Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) on the DIBP site. If you really want a stamp (if you go to a country with no electronic access) you can go to a DIBP office and pay AUD150 per visa label. The free info from VEVO has been good enough for me.

Think positive. Life is full of bumps in the road. The past year has seen the most change since Category 4/5 was created.

If anyone knew that, they would be millionaires. Mine was less than 2 weeks. Depends on the CO, their backoffice staff and how easy it is to verify your documents. Hopefully soon.

I believe the rules have changed it doesn't matter where you applied for the 189 you can still be granted while inside Australia as long as you have a valid visa to be in Australia.

But made is a 175er which should all be allocated.

Its gone everything is redirected to the new immiaccount site unfortunately

Everyone get their CO and grant yet?
