I got ceremony EOI email today afternoon (and ofcause reply YES). @millski88 congratulations mate.

Congratulations @millski88 . Finally!!!!

Thanks @IndianzinOZ Yes the Casey is not doing much. Also I'm still waiting for the ceremony. Hope for the best.

I got approved early November and I know people who got approved in September still waiting for ceremony in Casey. No you can select any council. It will be your residence address council.

apart from the auto reply, haven't heard anything yet.

I'm from City of Casey and agree with you mostly. However, eventhough the council under administration the citizenship ceremonies are in-progress. (not enough to clear the back-log)

Got below reply.

Quite possibly the reason maybe now they are clearing the backlog from 250,000+ to 125,000 and people are getting approved faster. That eventually affect building backlog in ceremony invitations (as each ceremony have a limitation of 100 or so).

Home affairs updated the citizenship processing timeline, it's now taking 6 months from Approval to Processing (Which earlier was 5 Months) .

Congratulations. But it's really wiered as my application approved in early November 2019 in same council and haven't received ceremony invitation yet. Not sure what should I do.

Yes. 100% from our common bond. Instead when you read it, it says which sections are testable and which are not. As of today all questions are from Chapter 1 to 3.

You can download a copy of "Our common Bond" from here https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/citizenship-subsite/files/our-common-bond.pdf Also if you visit any council library , you can borrow a copy of this. To practice test, there are many online resource available including below. https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/citizenship/test-and-interview/prepare-for-test/practice-test

Yes it is ok.

the citizenship application ask you to provide future travel plans. so still you can submit your application with the future travel arrangements which already you made. Any unplanned travel, You can let case officer knows (Through the immi account)
