Congratulations! Good! That means they changed the way. Better!

I think is better to upload it now . And also fill up and upload a 1022 form to explain them the situation.

Unfortunately yes I’m waiting 13 months ( city of Playford) after ceremony for approval and another guy from here is waiting already 7 months . While each application is individual and you can’t compare any case with yours, it seems unfortunately that Adelaide office is quite slow with approvals. Well I hope this is gonna change soon given I complained to Ombudsman and my complaint has been approved and is under investigation. I’ll keep you informed. Fingers crossed

Online however I am pretty sure that the approval letter used to come via post . Except if they changed that recently. If you read here the pages from 2020-2021 you will see everyone received approval letter via postal. And at the same time the status turned into approval in the account without email notification. Is Good if they changed that .

Seems Adelaide office doing their best to delay us. Finger crossed . I hope we’ll hear more about this soon.

Well mine is exactly 19 months now. Still waiting for approval ! Last month when was 18 months on timeframe and this passed , again heard nothing . I communicated with them heard nothing . I called them they told this shouldn’t happen and they gave me the Adelaide office PO Box address for Delays to sent a request and again heard nothing back( 3 months now) she told me that is better to sent it via post because if I sent it with email and is a system error in my file they will never read it. Passed the test 100% before exactly 13 months. no problems no further documentation has requested. Btw I have already applied to ombudsman. Their response is that will take up 10 weeks to solve that. Let’s see

My test was 13 months ago ( May 28th 2021) still waiting for approval!!!

Hey Congratulations did you apply for prioritisation or something ? I’m from the same council applied on November 2020 . My test day was on May 28th 2021 and still waiting for approval …

SA department of DHA doing exactly nothing . Anyway….

Congratulations

Exactly

Fingers crossed! I’m in the same boat and I can feel your concerns. By the way is ridiculous that covid situation has been used for delays ! Especially when they’re working from home. Except if at home they doing anything else except working. I’m waiting 9 months after my interview/test day for approval. 15 months in total after my application lodgement. And it is stressful. Especially when I faced that with my permanent visa approval in past waiting for 4,5 years .

You will never get an email for citizenship approval. You will only receive a letter via post office and also your account status will be changed to approved.

In South Australia the same . Waiting already 14 months.

It is ridiculous . I applied 19Nov 2020!!! My interview and test was on 28th of May 2021 and still waiting for approval!!! Ridiculous and unacceptable.

Me I’m waiting from 28 of May for approval in ADL

The same boat here . Not for 6 months, just 3 but yes it’s gonna take a while. I can feel you

I can understand the passion. I’ll give you an example. Some people they study, after their ceremony they will be eligible for VET loan which is only for citizens, or they have been offered a job. So you see, sometimes you can’t just stop your life for 8 months. When you’ve got an opportunity for study or work you need to grab it, otherwise you will not have a chance after 7 or 8 months .

Hi you will receive an email to call you for an interview and test. Be sure you checking your junk mail as well. Also even if you loose the email , in your immi account you can always check the messages section and you will find a pdf copy of the email for an interview appointment. So relax and don’t worry. have in your mind that the status will be not changed until the day of approval. It will remain “received “ until then . in other words is important for you to check often your emails and messages section of your immi account good luck

That’s not correct ! Doesn’t matter if it’s through centrelink or DHA office . And sometimes is taking much longer than 8 weeks . Mine is already on 10th week through Adelaide DHA office and still waiting for approval. So the up to 8 weeks is not confirmed. Also not all of the application processed through DHA Offices will be approved on the same day. Note that in my application is not any problem non further documentation asked , so it’s a normal progress taking longer than usual. And if you read here you can find other people’s application took longer than 8 weeks

Yes they don’t sent an email. They sent only a letter via post office and update the status in your immi account without notification. Unfortunately I wrote on 28th of may @Adelaide but still waiting . Your state?

Does anybody know how we ask for FOI?

What we have to write in the form ? Thank you

Usually yes . You will not receive an email , just the status will be changed prior you receive the letter. But I’ve seen here in the forum in some cases this didn’t happen ( system error or something ) but 99.99% yes

Passed the test on 28th of May still waiting . It’s case it’s individual so you can’t get a time frame. Just relax and wait if they need something they will contact you.
