Congrats. Which council? What excuse did you give them for virtual ceremony? I emailed them many times with no reply. Thanks.

Congrats. Which council. Could you please share your timeline?

I spoke to City of Sydney protocol unit today, I was told that the they have invited for approved candidates for ceremony who were approved in November 2020. As I was approved in January 2021, maybe another 3 months wait...

Anybody been invited for ceremonies in Sydney lately?

I did, nobody reply me..

Everyday waiting for ceremony... coming up a year now since application on 25th March 2020.

By text message and email and also shown in IMMI

thanks, how long was the wait between approval and the ceremony email? If you don't mind? Which council

I have the same question

Melbourne interview waiting time appears to be longer than other states, perhaps due to its longer lockdown period? Waiting for council ceremony is another new waiting game.

Totally unnecessary!

Ok guys, I did and passed my interview and test today! Then after a couple of hours, the status become Approved. Here is a journey summary, so hear me out: 22 Dec 2020, received for invitation of interview and test for 3rd Feb 2021. I brought it forward to 7th Jan 2021. 4 Jan 2021, received message/email advising my 7 Jan appointment has been cancelled due to recent NSW Covid outbreak. 21 Jan 2021, received another invitation of interview and test for 24 Feb 2021, I brought it forward to today 30 Jan 2021. Now waiting for council ceremony invitation.

Kia Ora mate congrats. I am waiting for mine to come through. I applied in March 2020

The speed and experience for applicants from Sydney or NSW region is a joke - I encourage every affected to make some formal complaint.

You are so lucky mate. Def 'god speeds' for you. I don't understand what Sydney office is doing???!!! I am going to write to local MP to complain about the great disparity amount states - how can you call this a "fair go"??!!

I echo your comments mate

I certainly hope so but I don't think so, there is so much each staff can do - what surprises me is that WA has started inviting people to attend tests whereas applications in Sydney seem deadly quiet. In my own case, I think waiting for 6 months without hearing a thing about the next step is disappointing..

My son is 8 in my application, both of us still waiting. Seems like the quick ones are from separate applications for the children between 16 yr to 18 yrs.

no, when did you apply for the citizenship?

Congrats, when did you apply?

I think they might be planning ahead!

Mate it really depends where you applied from and your own personal circumstances. Among the latest threads, we have seen people get invitations within 3 and 4 months after applying early this year. I applied March in Sydney, deadly quiet

congrats, which city council does your application belong?

Anyone had been required for passport photos only under 1195 form? I only upload the photos but not the actual form. Is this correct?

May I ask where you got the Sydney city news from?
