Hi, I'm also from Brisbane city council. I did my test at april. Still waiting for ceremony. Would u mind share how did u find out ur ceremony date? Did u make a phone call? Or received a letter?

I recently changed home and called DIBP to inform about my new address. In the process asked the lady about ceremony date.she was kind enough to tell it over phone. Try your luck.

That sucks!

 

Does the status on the immi account change to finalised once they fire off the letter and put you to the council for a ceremony or just once you have done the ceremony does anyone know?

 

Cheers

The status changes only after you attend the ceremony.

Thanks! Sorry to hear you locked yourself out... :-/

Anyone else waiting for the ceremony that could answer if their immi account status is different? I'm asking because I won't have access to my mailbox over the holidays and I'm wondering if it's worth checking the online system or it never changes. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

 

My case is a bit complicated. I am not sure I should post my question in this thread. If not, please guide me to the right place.

 

My citizenship apply date is 12/08/16, I got an email to request additional information on 20/08/16. I provided the information on the same day. Now, I am waiting and nothing coming yet.

 

My current visa 187, conditioning I have to keep my job (the nominated employer) for 2 years from the day visa granted (The 187 visa granted on 11/08/15). However, my employment came to an end today. Will it affect my citizenship application? Is there anyone has been in the similar situation?

 

Thank you.

If you are forced to leave prior to 2 years, the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIBP) must be satisfied that you did make an effort to stay with them. If the business goes bust or there’s a shortage of work then DIBP may agree that you were unable to continue through no fault of your own. If this is genuinely the case then it is unlikely that your visa will be cancelled and hence your citizenship application should go through.

Hi, does the child need to be onshore at time of application and/or approval? My wife is overseas and he would like to visit her when the application process is ongoing.

I think yes because you need to show the childs original passport during the citizenship interview.

Hi,

Applied citizenship for my 2 year old kid along with me. Does the kid need to attend the appointment for citizenship test interview as well?

Can the Form 1195 (identity declaration form) be signed 2 weeks before eligibility date for citizenship or do I have to wait until the day I am eligible to have it signed? My friends lives in another state and I have to mail the forms to him. I wanted to have everything ready so I can lodged as soon as I become eligible. Also when I logged in my immiaccount today it says that there have been issues with attaching documents for citizenship in pdf format and they recommend the jpeg format. how did you attach files with multiple pages in jpeg format? Is there a way to combine multiple pages in one jpeg file such as the form 1195 which is 2 pages?

I applied last week and was able to upload PDFs which the system split into jpegs. The only issue I faced was while uploading passport twice (Once for Present country of citizenship, Evidence and the same passport for First arrival in Australia, Evidence).Since the file name was same system couldn't handle it. So after the 1st upload had to change the filename in my computer to different one. Hope I didn't confuse you
