I think you need to contact them to send you the citizenship certificate for Bubba. Once you get that you can apply passport for the child.

When did you have your ceremony?

Same here NSJ and Tech 123 got their approvals. They did test close to us. So finger crossed.

Any update @Elliot Tsao

@tech123@NSJ Any update ?

A couple of approvals from June Test applicants. Stay tight guys.

Yeah. I am waiting for approval  since 23 june. Good luck all waiting for approval. 

This is really bad

No-- I am not that lucky..!!

I think you will get earlier. .!- I am expecting up to 15 Feb for both of us 

Any update @Elliot Tsao

Yeah such ignorant MP.

My council will have the ceremony on 6th March. would I be expecting approval in next 4 weeks, so that I can attend this ceremony on 6th March. By March, it will be 13 months from since I submitted the application.

This delay in citizenship not only is frustrating but also impacting people's life financially and socially.  Hopefully we will get approvals soon.
 

withdraw your tourist visa immediately otherwise your pr will be cancelled for ever

Great , So happy for you. you waited so long. Hopefully we will get soon as well.

you got letter or immi account approval ?

Congrats Donna

 I think it is 11 months

Some movement in the queue. Someone in Melbourne got approval. Hopefully we will get soon. @Elliot Tsao

Council: Darebin (Melbourne).

Following is the timeline:

Applied : 11 April 2017
Acknowledgement: 11 April 2017
Test Email: 8 June 2017
Test Date: 11 September 2017, Melbourne CBD (Passed 100%)
Approval: 17 January 2018 (Online Status only, have not received any emails yet)

75% are in 11 months. we already completed 8.75 months. 3-5 month is ceremony time. We should get approvals  by end of Jan or Feb ? @Elliot Tsao

Now frustration is setting in - It is almost 9 months since I applied citizenship. That is long time. Still waiting for approval. I agree with Eliot that calling Home affairs is not the answer.

Test 23 June, Applied 18 April- No letter yet..!!

@Eddie937  Have you had test or not yet?

Good luck

Apparently,  It does matter
