@jcg Did you get your invite for the ceremony? Wondering how long is the wait in Ryde.

From the below spreadsheet,

I can see that people who have applied after me have already got the test date but I haven't got. And yes, they are from the same local council as me. Is this normal? I always thought applications were processed is the same order as they were received. 

Just found that I have got the test email a few days ago. I had totally missed it. Searching for 'DIBP' in my gmail doesn't show it because the name is now changed to 'Department of Home Affairs'. Phew!

Applied on the 21st April, had test late November. Children approved within a week, we had to get new police checks from the UK as neglected to recognise the time spent before we activated the PR visas and moved permanently. Sent the checks off yesterday so now waiting for approval and then the wait for the ceremony.

We applied a month later so should get the test date soon.

Has anyone in Sydney who has applied after 20th of April got the test date?

Applied 27/4/17 online in Sydney. Still no news.

My permanent residency visa has since expired. Does anyone know if there is a way around leaving country to go on holiday, without having to renew my PR visa?

 

Which council?

Do you mean the 'City of Ryde' council? Or does North Ryde have its own council?
