Finally, We (Me & My wife) received invitation letters over email on 12th April 2017. see my timelines below: Application dates : 20 Dec 2016 State/Council : Melbourne / Boroondara Council Test Date received : 6 Jan 2017 Test Date : 1 Feb 2017 Approval letter : Received on 8th Feb (In the letter it was approved on 2nd Feb) Ceremony Letter : 12th April 2017 (Over email haven't received hard copy yet) Ceremony Date : 18th May 2017 I've updated my details on google spreadsheets see the link below: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JYRvi6XH4LKUvdCW5vmCG44U7VG469oZNQeKgceVDO4/edit?ts=589cfc5c#gid=0

Great, Congrats mate.

@SimonPang, It's not over at all... there were too many ways to get PR.... you will get jobs in countryside on 187 visa based on ur experience for sure to restart ur careers

yes, you can upload ur third one too...

In my opinion, better to keep ready and upload it as soon as u received this will save ur waiting time rather than waiting for co request as this will add more waiting time incase co requested. I did the same thing, I re-applied PCC and AFC just before expired (12 months old).

Transition

Don't worry Mate you will get it soon. infact for Melbourne ppl luckiest than other states because we got an opportunity to change test date by our own (online) instead of calling immi. Regarding my ceremony date, I don't thing I'll get a place in March I'm expecting on May or June. see below Citizenship ceremony dates for boroondara council: · 10am, Thursday 26 January (Australia Day), 2017 · 7pm, Wednesday 15 March, 2017 - Doubtful · 7pm, Thursday 18 May, 2017 · 7pm, Wednesday 28 June, 2017 · 7pm, Tuesday 19 September, 2017 · 7pm, Tuesday 10 October, 2017 · 7pm, Thursday 23 November, 2017

Hi Folks, Just to share! One of my colleague got PR on 1st Feb Nom in March 2016 visa in April 2016 Extra doc requested for Nomination on Dec 2016 (don't know exactly what was requested) Finalized on 1st Feb

All the best @Muttley.... Hope you will get sooner test date.

Hello Everyone, I've created google spreadsheet for citizenship timeline were we can analyse processing time from date of application to citishenship ceremony. if more ppl update their timeline then we will analyse better. Please note: This is an initial stage we can build more better. Your suggestions/comments most welcome! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JYRvi6XH4LKUvdCW5vmCG44U7VG469oZNQeKgceVDO4/edit?ts=589cfc5c#gid=0 I've shared this link in other forum too where my user name is " ausian21 "

Ok, I wasn't aware of this.

I applied after a month. but better to wait atleast a day to be safer side.

Thanks Crash, They mailed me my approval letter, i never called immi for anything. You can change ur test date as many time as you can. In Melbourne there were plenty of dates available in May onwards. Please note: only Melbourne applicant can able to check online test dates.

My Application has been approved on 8th Feb 2017. Now waiting for ceremony invitation letter.

don't know exact amount but it's less than $100 for sure

you will get an email

Yes, you can create two or more application in ur immi account

you will a number in your citizenship test invitation letter till then u can't book ur test date

Great, me too in Melbourne Please note: we have to attach/submit passport copy in any case. And I guess birthcertificate is also mandatory, if you don't have then you have to submit relevant documents except passport such as school leaving certifactes etc... but better to have consulate birth certificate which is available and straight forward process otherwise you have to explain immi officer with proper reason while test interview

Hey Mate @longwait, Happy to see u.... q1. can i apply whole family's citizenship from my IMMI id.? Ans: Yes, of course you can q2.we are family of 4 (me,my wife & 2 kids) so how we apply all together? Ans: you need to create 2 application for you and ur wife and add ur kids either in ur application or ur wife or both in each child q3. me and my wife don't have birth certificate but kids have. so can i supply Marriage certificate or Indian National Identification card (Aadhar Card) its showing birth date Ans: if you don't have ur birth certificates then apply to Consulate general of India "http://www.vfsglobal.com/india/australia/" they will issue ur birth certificate based on ur passport but make sure whenever u have test interview you have to bring other documents too such as leaving certificates where ur name and date of birth mentioned and furthermore if you have Indian driving licence and Adhar card, marriage certificates etc... q4. and whats the other supporting documents we required. is any body have documents list? Ans: Indian driving licence and adharcard is sufficient as an additional identity documents. Hope this will help u and all the best... By the way in which city r u going to apply?

Thanks Crash:) you will get invitation email within 3-4 weeks if you lucky you will get anytime within a week but not more than 4 weeks for sure. and best things in melbourne that you can change/reschedule ur test date by online instead calling immi. re. online application page it never change until we attend council ceremony. while attending test interview make sure you bring all the original document even u haven't uploaded such as marriage certificates and ur origin county driving license etc... he may ask anything while interview.

I cleared my test with 100% withing 5 min My timelines: ---------------------------- Date applied: 20/12/2016-online Date received the acknowledgement email: 20/12/2016 Date of citizenship test invite email: 16/01/2017 Date of citizenship test: 13/04/2017 Re-scheduled Date of citizenship test: 01/02/2017-passed 100% Date of ceremony invite: TBA Date of ceremony: TBA

you will get ur client id on test invite email however you can still fing ur client id in your PR grant application. But I guess u can't book/re-schedule ur test until you get email invites for test date.

Not sure about the queue however in 2017 they scheduled the ceremony dates. See below [h=3]Citizenship ceremony dates[/h]All ceremonies are held at the Hawthorn Arts Centre, 360 Burwood Road, Hawthorn. 10am, Thursday 26 January (Australia Day), 2017 7pm, Wednesday 15 March, 2017 7pm, Thursday 18 May, 2017 7pm, Wednesday 28 June, 2017 7pm, Tuesday 19 September, 2017 7pm, Tuesday 10 October, 2017 7pm, Thursday 23 November, 2017
