Doesn't look like from the excel sheet (link below), you can update your timelines for tracking/analysis: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JYRvi6XH4LKUvdCW5vmCG44U7VG469oZNQeKgceVDO4/edit?ts=589cfc5c#gid=0

Melbourne applicants have the option to change test dates via online system (they provide link in the appointment email). But if you are not from Melbourne then unfortunately you'll have to try changing dates via call center only, this can be painful (long waiting ques etc.) Btw, there is another thread regarding Citizenship timelines, you can see lots of details there

Looks like someone has messed up the excel sheet ... my dates were changed, I have corrected mine but seems that computation formula is messed too

Finally after 5+ weeks of waiting, received interview & test information on 29th March'17. Initially interview dates were 02nd & 22nd June'17 (we have 2 applications) but we got lucky to change them to 31st March'17 via online system. Interviews & tests done today, now waiting for approval letter Updated timeline below, excel sheet also updated 1. Date Applied: 22/02/2017 2. City/Council Area: City of Monash, Melbourne 3. Online / Paper: Online 4. Acknowledgement Email: 22/02/2017 5. Citizenship Test e-mail: 29/03/2017 6. Date of the Citizenship Test: 31/03/2017 7. Approval letter: Waiting 8. Date of ceremony: Waiting

This is great news Its been 5 weeks since application and no news for me ... concerning times

Good news, finally some movement, wonder how far away I am

This is going to be a longer wait than expected ....

Doesn't look like, as per excel sheet end-Jan applicants are still waiting too

Would be interesting to see the waiting period difference between both suburbs, they are not far apart geographically and population

Yep, received automatic reply within a minute or so straight after application submission. It could be a system glitch in your case?

Awesome, thanks @Nani

@Nani Does that mean your alternative document to birth certificate has been accepted?

Hi Nani, Thanks for the reply I assume this is high school's certificate you are referring to? Please keep us posted with their feedback on it Cheers, FB
