Hi, thought I'd share my timeline to all the Sydney folks on here. 

Applied for Citizenship  Dec 2019 (my myself, my hubby and dependent child)

City: Sydney

Current citizenship    NZ

Invitation                    Nov 14/11/20 (invite via email)

Test Date                    Nov 28/11/20 (Parammatta)

Approval                    Nov 28/11/20 (Received a letter in the mail on 4/12 confirming approval on Nov 28/11 for all of us). 

Ceremony                  Awaiting (Looking at the comments people seem to have ceremonies 2 months after approval). Hoping for Ceremony in January. 

All the best guys. 

Congrats!

Have you got your ceremony date yet?

Just your driver license will suffice showing your address. Else utility bill or bank statement. 

actually, i am in Melbourne right now and my appointment is in Sydney. so I'm confused about what address proof should I bring. appreciate any help with this.

I have been following this forum for a quite a while to keep track of timelines and have gotten lots of useful info so I wanted to share some good news which may help out others.

I am based in Sydney and received a date for my citizenship test today🥳🥳 I applied for citizenship on 28th Jan 2020 and my test date is 14th Jan 2021. Hopefully the wait for the ceremony won't be as long!

Congratulations! May i know where do you live? I applied on the same date but I have moved to Melbourne 2 months back not sure how it’s going to impact my application.

When did you submit your application and which council?

Yes as far as I know if you mentioned the city you will have to wait until they’re up and running. 
I imagine Para are running at a lower capacity so they won’t want to take on work from another centre. 

do you know what happens in case we haven't mentioned council?

Hi Guys, most of the people here have mentioned a preferred council. is there anyone who hasn't mentioned the council and got their invite? I submitted my application in Jan without the council. not sure if this is the right way to go about it. Any info would be great. 

Thanks,

Thanks for the response @Rallyman but the thing is i didn't select any nearby council as it was not mandatory and i had been told chances are good if you don't choose a council.

Hi Guys,

I have recently applied for citizenship, just wondering how many people from NSW are in the same boat, and how long is the wait ?

Thanks
