    Hello Friends,

    I am going to attend my citizenship test next week.

    I want to ask, are those 20 questions are enough ? or they can add any else question other than those 20 question?

    Seniors who attended the test already, please guide me.

    Many thanks

    read the booklet all answers are in there. The questions were different to the practice ones but as long as you read the booklet youll be fine. TAKE YOUR TIME TOO

    Hi all

    i sat the test this morning and thought I’d let you know how it went, 

    interview was straightforward few basic questions and I had to show my drivers license passport and birth certificate ,

    you then go to a room with a client log on number and sit the test, you get 45 mins for 20 questions. Similar to practice tests just worded differently. Do study the material as everything you need to know is in there. 
    I got 100% and was approved within an hour! 
    good luck everyone fingers crossed 🤞 to those waiting!

    A quick update. Test/interview done today. 

    I received my test/interview invitation via email yesterday (20 April 2022). @MLB_Applicant (thank you for sharing the link to reschedule the date). Luckily, I was able to reschedule my appointment to 30 April 2022 (today).

    Just came back from the test centre (passed the test). To my surprise, they were open on a Saturday. The whole thing took about 25 minutes for me (about 5 minutes for the interview and under 20 mins for the test).

    We entered the premises, entered the client ID and were asked to go to level 2. The lady just asked for the driver's license and passport to verify details. Confirmed basic details like DoB and address. I was allowed to sit the test. But you must take along all the required documents they have listed on the invitation email. 

    Some tips for everyone. Do study the material available online as the questions were little tricky for me (it would possibly just be me as I panic and get nervous quite easily). I managed to score 100% after spending good time. 

    - Please do spend time understanding the question.

    - Avoid making choices in a hurry.

    - Do not create hassle for yourself.

    - You will not miss the train.

    - There is plenty of time. 

    - First attempt is not end of the world

     

    I came back after the test. 

    Another important thing. I am an owl who spent all night studying the online testable material and that was the reason I confidently rescheduled the test/interview to today (when I only received the invitation yesterday). Another reason was that I was done waiting for over 13 months after applying. So I just wanted to get done with it. 

    I will now be waiting for approval and ceremony. 

    This forum provides a lot of information and gives hope, specially to those who have been waiting for a very long time. Everyone goes through the same process. Do not lose hope and stay focused.

    Thank you everyone and good luck.

    Hi

    when you say all documents does that include form 1195 and passport photo that someone had to endorse? I can’t find originals as I’ve moved twice since application!! I’ll look

    this weekend but wanted to know what documents did you present please? 
    Thanks

    Those who have applied for exemption can you tell me what you said to justify? I just put we want to visit our daughter who is PR as we’ve not seen her for two years. We are in good health and plan to stay with her in Victoria for 6 weeks. 
    I’m hoping that’s ok? 
    also I couldn’t work out bulk lodgement attachment

    template so I copied application saved it and attached it. Also attached their passports snd my Passport my PR (vevo check) plus a photo of us. Hoping that’s enough too.

    Hi all

    Hi everyone 

    thought I’d update you as I have t been on this forum for a while! 
    I moved to Australia April 2014 with my partner we spoilt up 11 months later but luckily my employer sponsored me to stay, I then got made redundant a year and half later but again found another employer to sponsor me, I hated that job and was lucky enough to be sponsored again by My current employer. I then met my now husband in 2015 and I applied for my partner visa February 2016. It took 11 months for part one to be granted and last Saturday I finally got my PR granted. It’s been one hell of a roller coaster and I’m now relieved and happy as Larry!!!! 
     

    Thank you to anyone who has listened and given me advice along the way and for those going through tough times if it’s meant to be it will work out!

    best of luck
