My application for citizenship by conferral in Australia has been submitted since Jun 2018, and the status for it is still "received" at this point of time, which means I'm waiting for decision.
My situation is I'll be leaving Australia in about 2 months from now and start a overseas employment. I have contacted home affairs about my change of circumstances and was told that the decision could not be made if I'm overseas. Instead, I'll be receiving a email letter saying something like "decision is ready to be made, you need to come back to Australia for the decision to be actually made".
My question is has anyone ever received this "decision ready to be made" email before? Once you received the email and return back to Australia, will the application then be made right away or did you have to stay in Australia for some time to wait for the decision? if so, what would the waiting time be like?
Your help will be much much appreciated.
