Ah that's cool! I wonder what the relevance is of 14th October? Is it a public holiday or special event or something? So 3.5 months from your test date to ceremony - not bad at all!

Oh that's interesting. So it's not at Coburg Town Hall?

I am keeping a look out but nothing earlier yet. how long did you wait between doing your test and getting approval?

Really, that many? Woah. I thought maybe 3-4 per year! So 12 per year? 100 people in attendance or 100 people gaining citizenship do you think? 100 people gaining citizenship in moreland every month weeks seems a lot!

Cool! Keep us updated? i'd be keen to hear how you go with that. How many do they have per year in Moreland?

I'm Moreland too! how long have you been waiting so far?

Look on the bright side though?

Woah! Congrats. See, there's a potential turnaround within a year right there.

Hey! Unfortunately that's very difficult to say. You could refer to the 'sharemytimeline' website, here: http://sharemytimeline.info/ But in all honesty, that's user-generated data, no one really knows it's accuracy. You'll see cases on the forum here of people waiting 1.5-2 years with no test appointment, then on the other hand people who have had test and approval within 4-6 months. There's not a lot of trends to pull from, it's very hard if not impossible to predict a time frame based on your specific application unfortunately. All the best!

Melbourne yeah! Have we got an identical immigration history? haha. Must be similar dates too.

Yeah definitely quicker than expected! When the change to immigration bill was announced i panicked and wished i could have submitted for citizenship back then, now i'm glad i couldn't in a way... unfortunate for so many people here waiting that the influx of applications have just gotten stuck.

Nah. Someone may get round to updating the title, but this is the gang.

I know it's frustrating for the forum members here who have been waiting a very long time, but based on more recent timelines i would question there being no chance of a turnaround within a year. Unlikely, maybe.

Haha yes indeed. That could still happen. Thanks for your tips!!

Think we've finally got our appointments in order. Me - 17th October OH - 24th October OH needed one as late as possible in the afternoon, so probably not feasible to hold out for the same day. Happy that these aren't too long to wait now, and fairly close together. Averaging 95-100% on the practice tests, itching to do it now!!!

There's a whole thread of people sharing their timelines pinned to the top of this section of the forum:

Also thanks for the tip on the app - already looks better than the ones i was trying before. Did the questions on your test end up reflecting the range in the app?

Youtube videos while working is a good idea! I'll give that a go. It's the political stuff I find hard to retain, everything else is fine without revision tbh!

Could anyone recommend a good source of practice tests? I've got a few different iphone apps but not convinced of their accuracy, the english is pretty bad in some of the questions!

Moved again, haha. this is addictive!

I was prepared for a lot longer than i've experienced so far. Just now the calendar updated and there were 5 appointments in 2 weeks! haha. crazy. I opted for another than came up beginning over November though, i haven't done much revision of the material yet, 2 weeks is a bit quick! lol

Hey LAG. Just out of interest, when did your test email arrive and when did you end up having your test appointment? Interesting that my initial date was earlier than yours but you've already managed to get it ticked off! the waiting times must fluctuate a lot depending on the office i suppose.

Nice. I managed to move mine about 3 weeks forward this morning to mid-december. I will keep alternating between mine and my partners!

Yes mate! I'm sure you will. I'm from the UK.

Nice! Thanks for the info. I did see a couple of appointments come up this afternoon but didn't grab one yet. Will keep checking. I'm in Moreland Council area (Melbourne). My partner got hers too, appointment 20 mins after on the same day. Tom.
