Thanks a lot for the update mate. All the best to you too. If you don't mind where are you based in Australia?

All good.  I'm in Melbourne. Cheers

Haha. Yes, i'll be doing that honestly.

Just wanted to check for the interview what all documents you are taking? 

I have attached the identity proof (form and photo), birth certificate, passport, driving license. What did you attach for evidence of first arrival in Australia?

I'm also unable to attach under my father's and mother's name tab.

Apologies for too many questions.

Cheers 

In addition to the documents you mention I also included a copy of my national id card, we have them in my country. 

First arrival to Australia, I attached a scanned copy of my old passport including the first entry stamp I got at the time.

I'll bring all the originals to the interview.  I didn't attach anything under the parent's section.

Hi Everyone,

I have submitted my citizenship application today. Got the acknowledgement of application received letter within couple of minutes. Do we get anything else after this anytime soon or should i just sit back and relax for couple of months?

Also, do i need to do a police check as well?

Cheers

Welcome to the club! Sit back and relax (checking your immiaccount every 30minutes).

In my case I got an invitation for interview and test 2 months after I submitted the application. The appointment was scheduled for Feb 2020 but I was able to move to Sept this year.

Good luck!

Nice! And could you tell me how you first discovered your application update with the test date - did you receive an email or did something change within Immi Account?

Thanks.

We got an email, looks like a generic system generated kind of email. The application on the ImmiAccount still says received. It has the appointment details but the status and the "last updated" info remains the same.

Hey LAG. Wow that's crazy quick. Could I ask the basic details of your application? - How many applicants, which pathway, low risk/high risk country etc?

Hi millski88, yes I feel lucky. So it is me and my wife, linked applications (both got invitations on Friday). Our history is similar to yours, we had two 457s and then moved on to a 186 that was approved last year. This year as soon as we met the residency requirement we applied for citizenship. Low risk country.  

Last Friday I received an invitation for the interview and test.  I applied on 5 June this year. So I guess the whole 2018/2019 divide is true.

The interview and test is scheduled for February next year but I'll try to move it forward.

The PR Visa is for the period of 5 years. You need to apply for the citizenship to stay permanently in Australia. 

This is misleading.
