Hi @Eddie0719 I recently called them was 2 Nov. That CSR told me 'pls be patient for following three weeks, if u still don't receive letter, then pls call us from 4th week.'

Yes, @Sheila The CSR from DIBP answered me over my call, but I reckon it still has two scenarios: 1. I can receive my letter before the End of Nov. , or 2. My letter just been created before this deadline and DIBP will dispatch to postal service, one more week waiting for receiving.

LOL~ one more week to the so called 'three weeks' limit. But really hope all our letters can be received within these two weeks

LOL~ Pls be patient! Believe DIBP is processing now.

Wow, Big Congratulations to you! Waiting for a ceremony invitation letter should be easier and shorter than waiting for the Approval letter. I'm still waiting for the Approval letter, today is 139th day since test completed...

Yes, 26 Jan is also a predicted date for my case. Hope we can both receive letters within two weeks.

called DIBP again, 5th time, a very nice staff answered with patient, asked all of my demo. info, then told me: please be patient to wait three weeks (it should be end of Nov), if you still not received letter, then call us again to check.

Yes. While applying for a PR visa is very strict and long waiting period. However, despite the Govt encourages migrants become Aussie Citizens, it doesn't mean citizenship application can be reviewed and processed more easily and shorter waiting than PR visa. This rule is so ridiculous.

Just called DIBP 4th time, someone answered me: it still follow the current time frame, 14 mths. bala bala bala~~~ Even didn't ask my passport number other demographic info.

I collected all upcoming ceremonies from neighbour councils: Boroondara: 23 Nov Moreland: 16 Nov and 26 Jan 2018 Hume: 5 Dec Banyule: 8 Nov and 26 Jan 2018 Whittlesea: 20 Nov and 18 Dec Final timeline: November: 8, 16, 20, 23 December: 5, 18 January 2018: should be all councils

I strongly suggest u: call them between 825~830am, then u may only within 30 in queue, before 9am, someone will answer u.

when did u call? 830am? If later than 830am, other time is actually useless

whenever I can receive the letter, I just wanna can complete pledge within this year or no later than Mid-Jan 2018

The 123rd day passed.....131880: high demand of calling.

17th week ends today, without letter. 18th week coming soon

yup~ test date, waiting days, local council etc. almost same. hope my letter comes tmr~

Fantastic! Darebin mate... mine should be on its way to me...

tomorrow

I do think DIBP data system and update service need a revolutionary change.

It's also driving all of us soooooo... crazy

lol, thanks for explaining. Mine should be approved and during delivery now. Cuz this case, applicant whether lodgement date or test date all later than mine. That's reason why I guessed like that.

Hi Sheila, our Xmas gifts may on its way to us. It may be randomly processed, also influenced by AU Post fast or not. 16 Apr and 22 Jun should be earlier than this case~ lol

Good news! I reckon DIBP started processing since October, 16-9=7, I may wait one more week (if possible, exactly same time interval), should be issued around 11~13 Oct. Dementia will be treated soon

Yes, I passed test in 22 Jun , today is 111st day waiting after test, still no any news about approval letter
