Right, for me it's in other direction.Applied in May in Sydney, no reply or anything, moved to Perth in Dec, got my test done and dusted in a couple of week

Are you still waiting ?

Got my approval yesterday. Did the test on 16th Dec

Just word of an advise. If you are not planning on getting License, please get the Photo id card from your state. It will cost you around $50, but solve lots of id proving problem in the future. You don't want to carry your passport all the time to prove your age. I know you have greek id card, but i remember my German friend had problem getting into clubs with his German ID card

I am waiting from 16th dec, please update here once you get approved thanks

Still waiting mate

hey are you approved yet ?

I don't think so, but saw some delays where applicant has refugee visa. My case is pretty straightforward, Student visa, followed by 485 and then Permanent. I haven't travelled once since getting the PR and only once since coming to OZ.Also i am a single applicant

Ahh i see, i am hoping for an approval at the moment. Which council are you from ? There are some councils with few hundred backlogs in Perth

Waiting in Perth as well, I guess no hope for Australia day Ceremony

I am waiting for my approval as well

Yes that's correct, you don't need compelling reasons for virtual ceremony especially in NSW. If you are interested send an email to the following address with you approval letter or screenshot of your immiaccount virtual.ceremony@homeaffairs.gov.au virtual.citz.ceremony@homeaffairs.gov.au ceremony.act@homeaffairs.gov.au virtual.ceremony.act@homeaffairs.gov.au

I am not sure about ceremony at council premises,But lot of people from Sydney managed to get virtual ceremony. If you don't mind virtual ceremony, you can email the virtual ceremony department.Friend of mine got approved on Dec 11th, sent an email for virtual ceremony and they replied back with Dec 23rd for virtual ceremony

I did my test in Perth on 16th and still waiting. Where did you have your test ?

Hey Mate, did you get approved straight away. I did my test yesterday and application is still showing as received

There is step by step guide for the documents you need on the website. I have submitted the following Birth Certificate Passport Proof of first entry (This is a tricky one.Some people have stamp on their passport for the first arrival and in my case didn't.If your case is similar to mine you can fill in form 1359 and email it to given email address on the form> You will get movement records ) Driver Licence Bank statement Photograph taken in last 6 months Form 1195 (google search the form and you need to get it signed by someone from the occupation specified on the form.Same Person need to sign back of your photograph, which need to uploaded with the front side) Police certificate from any country where you have stayed more than 90 days since getting the PR I think that's all you need, Feel free to message if you require any more information. I have test tomorrow, wish me luck haha

Hey Mate, I moved from Sydney to Perth last week.After changing the address online,I emailed the Perth citizenship office last Friday regarding my concern of application being stuck in between 2 states. I got the call on Tuesday from the Citizenship team in Perth, informing me that they have my application here and will allocate me a date very soon. Yesterday got the email with my test date for Jan 29th, which i reschedule to Dec 16th. I am pretty sure i would have been waiting for a while for my test in Sydney, but seems like Perth has few applications on hand. Hope this help

Hey everyone, I got my test date for 29th of Jan in Perth. If i go to reschedule option there is nothing available, just wondering if more dates come available ? Thanks

yes mate, You residence starts from the date you first arrive minus the period you have been absent

In regional area, tests are run by Service Australia(previously Centerlink) on DHA's behalf. I guess SA is busy with all this Jobseekers and other claims due to pandemic

I am moving to Perth later this year, will be interesting to see how that effects my application

Hey Guys, Looking for your some advise here. I am living in Sydney at the moment. I have applied for my Citizenship in May and considering current circumstances it doesn't look like I will hear back anytime soon. So I have decided to Continue with my Masters degree in Data Science at Uni of Western Australia. For this semester I can study online , but for next semester in February 2021 I have to move up there. I am considering making a move sometime in December. So I am wondering how does it effect my Citizenship application.Think I have to provide new address proof for sure but DO I have to provide another photo signed by someone from Perth ? And how would I go about changing the test centre etc. Thanks for your time
