I strongly suggest you from my real experience: call them at 825~830am every single weekday, u may be in the queue within first 30 callers ( two weeks ago, one Friday was 21st)

That's ok - I sucked it up and waited. About an hour all up! Was busy doing other things on the computer while I waited. Turns out they sent an email months ago requesting a couple of additional details but I must have missed it!

Thanks for your help

Hi unicornlover, once application submitted, it won't change before the ceremony. You should call DIBP on 131 880 to ask a Customer Service representative about your application proress.

Thanks for this - Im just calling now... im position 118 in the queue (!!!) so i guess thats my afternoon gone!

Did you complete the Citizenship test or not yet?

No - Ive not heard anything from immigration since I submitted my application.

Hi,

I applied for my citizenship in Dec 2016. I've heard nothing... am I missing something? I keep checking on my immiaccount but I can't see anything changing. 

Anyone else in the same boat or know what I should check?

Thanks!

Hey Peeps...

My visa was approved today

Nomination Applied: 21st April 2015

Nomination Approved: June 18th 2015

Visa Applied: June 18th 2015

Visa Approved: Nov 5th 2015

No MA. No additional documents required. Contracts Administrator. NSW.

Best of Luck to you all xxx

Just bumping this post - in case there are any Poms about up here...

Also - has anyone else noticed that the links on the right hand side of the ELodgement Page within your ImmiAccount are not working?

So I've been wondering about the fact that I did my visa application only once my nomination was received.

Some people seem to think it extends processing time while others seem to think its random. Are their guideline processing times calculated from when the Nomination Application is submitted or from when the PR Visa Application is submitted?

Just trying to figure out my 'worst case' scenario

:arghh:

 

Lived in the Kimberlies for 12 years and only 1 4wd in 50 was a Landy...Too exxy on fuel, spares etc.

 

Cheers, Bobj.

Hahaha... clearly that ^^^ is why Im not the one responsible for cars in our household! Although I do see a fair few Landys around here and the 100 series sell really quickly. But as long as its got 4 wheels and aircon I leave the rest to my other half

Living in the Kimberleys must have been incredible? Is it as amazing as people say? I have never been but my expectations are pretty high!

I wish, I am waiting until I am fit enough and then will get @Bobj to extend our next road trip lol. Mind you we need another 4x4 as this one we have i wouldnt fancy taking on a long trip.

Nice! I see you are in Cairns so that would be a nice drive over the top and down through the Kimberleys and Broome 100 Series Landcruisers seem to be the tank of choice... they just keep going and are apparently easy to maintain with a little mechanical knowledge

The beaut Pilbara. Lived there in the 70's, building the Tom Price-Paraburdoo and Robe River railroads, and had a few visits in the 60's while working for the Main Roads. As @The Pom Queen says, such a lovely area.

 

A bit hot at times...:wink:I remember a little story of an old an old bloke meeting the Devil; he says to Beelzebub, "You can't scare me with Hell, mate, I lived in Marble Bar".

 

All the best,

 

Cheers, Bobj.

I drove the Karratha-Tom Price Road a couple of weeks ago... love that drive, some amazing scenery that rail line goes through over The Ranges.

Definitely gets a bit cosy up here in the summer! Its winter now though so a bit chilly (28 degs) with a nice crisp wind

Have you been up here before then? Just travelling or living?

Just a shout out to any Pilbara-Poms.

Would be good to start a community up here - if there are any of you knocking about!

:hug:
