Immigrations send a monthly list of ‘approved’ to the local council who add the names to the next ceremony list. The invite for the ceremony comes from your local council but that may not be until a few weeks before the ceremony. You could leave it a month and call your council to ask if you are on the list. Your council should list the next available ceremony dates on their website. Good luck and enjoy the ceremony!

I spoke with our council and they said immi are now sending weekly reports to them as they need to get people through the ceremony as quickly as possible.

G'day Ali, may I ask you: 'Status' means the Immi Account? So it updated and we can know update for each stage of processing, Right? 

Yes the online account sorry it says application approved , I sat my test on Monday, my husband sat his on Friday and he immediately changed to approved, mine change this morning. John received his letter yesterday and I spoke to our local council who said will we be included in the Australian Day Ceremony we are shocked and very happy !

Hubby did his test on Friday 1 Dec, on the same day his status changed to approved and his letter was sent out. I did my test on 4th Dec, my status still says received, there seems to be no consistency at all. As I have been out of the country 101 day, immi said I may need another police check ??!!! Anyone know anything about this ?

 

Well today was a bit of a shocker , telephone call from immi Perth asking if I was available Monday morning to sit my test !!! I'm booked in !

Sent an email to Perth DIBP a week ago asking whether they have all the documents , they responded with a generic response email as below.

We applied for citizenship on 27 Apr 2017 online, my husband was informed 1 week ago that he has his test tomorrow. I have not heard anything about my test ! When I spoke to Perth Immi they told me that all applications are processed at different times depending on who processed them and applying on the same date did not mean the same amount of processing time would apply.
