Anyone applied in Nov 2019 in Sydney received the invite?

hey, I applied early Nov and just got my test invite the other day.

Citizenship application: 6th Nov 2019
Test Invitation: 6th March 2020
Test Date: 29th May 2020
Approval: TBA
Ceremony: TBA
Council: Sydney NSW

i signed up to post my timeline here cos it has been longer than most getting their grants (made me v nervous reading through the posts last week!). i applied 14th Feb and got accepted just now, 15th Dec. so 10 months and 1 day.

when i realised it was 10 months and a lot of guys on here recently were getting theirs accepted at 8months, I emailed my new CO, and lo and behold it arrives the next day. I have heard that happen before, I guess if they're ready to process it it gives them a prod?

also, if the information is useful to anyone, my husband theorised that ours may have taken longer since he had a couple of spent driving convictions, so maybe the checks for that took longer to come back.
