Hi everyone! Just wanted to share my timeline 15/03/2020: Application submitted, regional VIC 31/12/2020: Updated address to QLD ( relocated) 02/02/2021: Received invitation to take citizenship test for march 2nd. Reschedule for Feb 4th. 04/02/2021: Passed citizenship test w 100%. I checked my immiaccount that night and the day after and still showed "Received", so I stopped checking. 09/02/2021: Checked immiaccount just in case, shows "Approved" Ceremony: waiting

Thank you!

Hello everyone! I just received invitation to sit my test! Please advise me how can I bring that appointment forward? I remember I read here some people were able to bring it sooner, they have asked me to sit my test march 2, I'm heavily pregnant and not sure if I'll make it til then! I don't want to risk not sitting my test if baby comes early. I applied for citizenship March 2020, in Victoria. Recently moved to QLD, I updated my address in December and received my test appointment today for March 2nd 2021 in Brisbane. IM SO EXCITED! thanks!!

Thank you for that! We were going to relocate this year and then covid hit. Now I'm pregnant and it seems quite urgent to move before I have my baby. Fingers crossed they open borders November/December. Good luck!

Hello everyone, my husband and i live in regional VIC and will relocate to QLD in Nov/Dec. I know I can update my address but I was wondering if that automatically changes where I sit my test? what else do I need to do? thank you!

Thank you so much

Hi guys, I'm sorry if this is very basic but I've decided to apply on my own (not using my agent). I've finished my application and it is ready to submit. I thought at one stage I could add my husband as a secondary applicant but they only asked a bit of information. Does he have to apply on his own using his IMMI account? Thank you guys hope you can help me so I can submit both applications today. We have all the docs ready.

Thank you. I don't know if this was directed to me as i don't recall sending any PM's to anyone, but this is very useful info and makes total sense cheers

Thank you very much, may I ask what document came handy for you?

Hi guys, my husband and I will be elegible to apply early March He is portuguese and recently got his passport renewed. When he did, the consulate kept his old passport. He called to ask for help in regards to proof of arrival to Oz (stated in his old passport). Consulate said they couldn't help. Any ideas of how we can prove his arrival to Australia? It was ages ago, around 2011-2012, he doesn't quite remember when he arrived exactly. Thank you.

Hey guys, my colleagues and I got visa granted early march. Today we found out our workplace has sold to another company. We were asked to apply for the positions with that company, but already know they are fully staffed and don't need more people. Are we ok to look for a job somewhere else, while staying in the area with same postcode? We will apply anyways just be safe. Our lawyer advised us to take whatever we can find within that company, but personally I can't support myself or my family just with casual work. Thank you guys hopefully you can help me

Hi Sonia, yes it is you need to be a Room Leader and you need 3 years of work experience to apply.

Hi guys i'm so excited to share my timeline with you after being a silent follower for a year. I still can't believe my luck, yesterday I received my golden email! - visa, nom applied same day, feb 24 2018 - got RCB approved in a months time - Nomination approved feb 2019. I didn't get much info. from employer and my MA said it was up to them to disclose that info, but anyways Nom approved straightaway without requesting docs. for nom. -7 of feb CO allocated to my visa application, requested AFPs, overseas police checks for me and my partner and medicals. - submitted within two weeks -Visa grant march 8 2019 total processing time: 12 months and 16 days. Can't believe it....... Childcare VIC , LR country ps: this is where it gets really interesting and to be honest... we just got so freaking lucky! I applied around the same time with two other colleagues (end of feb 2018). CO was allocated to all of us on the same day, just requested different things (colleague one: AFP, overseas police check, medicals and letter from employer confirming her daughter as dependant in visa application / colleague two: AFP, overseas police check, medicals, info. regarding the veracity of her de facto relationship and working with children check). Both of them LR country, partner of one of them HR country. Submitted docs two weeks later just like I did... and yesterday we all received golden email!! Good luck everyone!!!!!!!
