@Elliot Tsao Really so Happy for your for your hard work and dedication. All is well that ends well. Now enjoy as your long painful waiting period is over.

Thank you very much. Next waiting is just about ceremony pledge and apply for an OZ passport. They are just waiting within a planned time. Thanks a lot, my Chile and Taiwan trips btw July to October this year will not be negatively impacted. Also, I may have the chance to vote PM this year, if my delayed ceremony can be arranged soon within April or date in Early May...just hope it

@ence Thanks mate! I just tell you about my info: I actually live in the City of Darebin, Victoria. However, Darebin's right to hold OZ citizenship ceremony has been cancelled by the Department. Then the Department arranges me to make my pledge in the  Mel CBD, Federation Square than my Darebin city council.  

@Rorz Hey mate, just let you know: I have a very similar timeline with @reachtoakhil  Applied: 16 Apr 2017 and tested 22 Jun 2017, then a very long long long waiting to now, 18 mths since lodgement and 16 mths  since test, still Received. Received my FOI result with junk info. What I can do next step, I don't know

Hello guys,

Just want to let you know that I have received the test email this Saturday morning. Seems immi is working during weekends as well

application date: 27.04.2017

test email received: 03.02.2018

test date: 21.02.2018

location: brisbane QLD

nationality: China

I saw some members were talking about if we have waited for more than 8 months before the test date, we will have our application approved soon. Just fingers crossed for that! I have been waiting for almost 10 months just for the test date. 

Hi An26, I am also from China, located in Mel VIC, I remembered that I received test email around 10:30pm, 15 Jun 2017, lodged application 16 April (The Easter Sunday night). Just make best wishes to you and hope you can be approved soon after test. ps, I am still waiting for the approval letter since test date 22 Jun 2017 to now.

Test Email: 8 June 2017
Test Date: 11 September 2017, Melbourne CBD (Passed 100%)

Do you guys believe there would be any progress after the national day this year? Cheers

I think so. But 'up to 14 mths' includes ceremony completion, then we all must get the citizenship certificate by the end of June. If we can get approval letter by this month, then still need to wait up to 5 mths to get final certificate.
