How long does it take for the letter of invitation for the ceremony after the citizenship has been approved and is it sent by post or email? The location is Melbourne.

In the 1290 citizenship form when it asks 'Do you have an Australian driver licence?' does it also count the learners permit. Any help would be really appreciated as my son is 17 so is  confused if he should say yes and put his learners permit down or say no cause it may mean a probationary licence.

amd people that doesn’t suffer of anxiety can’t understand how hard is the pressure 

it is not just be stress about it 

i already lost 3 kilos and I am already skinny 

i have rush on my shin and problem to sleep at night 

pain in most part of the body and cry out of nowhere for no reason why 

and this is going on since February 

not easy life unfortunately for people like me in this situation 

i hope I will be able to enjoy my Christmas too with the pr visa in my hand 

and I wish the same for all of you 

After receiving my pr i can say that life does not get better or change drastically after you get it. Don't stress too much it will come eventually

I am new to this forum and have a question.

How is the process for applying for citizenship for a 17 year old as my son will turn 17 next year and cannot be included in the application?

Hey guys I know someone asked already this question but I can’t find the answer 

how long pass until the case officer look again at your application after you submitted the documents that she requested?

Someone says they look after the 28 days are passed and someone says after 6 weeks 

It depends. In my application the case officer checked the documents after 3 weeks and it was a different officer. Just be patient and enjoy the ride it will be on its way soon

Yay!

I've finally got my golden e-mail this morning - was just randomly checking my e-mail inbox on the way to the office. Fortunately, they didn't issue any additional S56 requests (even though my AFP is expired since 20th Sep) and granted the visa straight away. 

I didn't expect myself to feel so happy before I applied. Maybe, it is because of all the time I was actively waiting for it. I can't even imagine how some of you guys here feel waiting for months already - really hope you will get your PRs shortly!

Good luck to everyone still waiting! 

Congratulations
