@Tipu You guys have already done with your test and interview?

@TherealforbesI received the invitation on 11 NOV. My appointment date was 7th Dec. I rescheduled it to 13 Nov. And done with my test and interview. Waiting for approval. 

@TherealforbesYeah. I did my test last week. Waiting for approval. 

Is someone got approval from Sydney CBD office after test, recently? Any idea, how long do they take for approval after tests/interview? 

@Bondi797 I guess October/November applicants are receiving calls. I am an early December 2019 applicant. No news yet. 

Is any December 2019 applicant received a test and interview call from the Sydney office? 

@TherealforbesYou are right. It's really depressing... I applied in December 2019. Still, heard nothing.

Any update regarding Sydney CBD Office? Have they covered September /October applicants? 

@Bondi797 I applied last year December from the SYDNEY CBD area. Still, no response mate. Sydney Office is sleeping or woking super slow. They don't care about people's frustration and how desperate they are for citizenship.  

@Ricomate I applied last year December 04, 2019 and proposed test centre is Sydney CBD. I haven't heard anything yet. 

@JK_69 On DHA website, yes, Sydney office is opened too but, since it starts work, I have never seen a single person here who mentioned that has been invited. If you are moving to Sydney then Paramatta area is better choice..they are inviting people for tests. If you want citizenship ASAP, then move to Adelaide or Perth. They are super quick..

Is any update on Sydney test and interview centre. It seems like they are not working and putting applicants in deep depression..

@danido Thanks. Lucky you. I applied last year December, still waiting for outcome. Immigration office Sydney is super slow and I guess they are not working it seems like.

@danido Congratulations! Which state do you apply for citizenship? 

Has anyone received a test interview call in the Sydney City office? It seems like the city office is sleeping. 

Is anyone received an invitation for test and interview in Sydney City?

Any update on test interviews in Sydney City? Is anyone received the invitation? They are too slow..

@Therealforbes We applied almost at the same time. Let me know when you receive the response. My application is in Sydney City, center. All the best. 

@Therealforbes Yeah I have experienced the same. You shouldn't need to worry about it. Delay is because of the closure of the citizenship test interview I guess. I applied last year in December and still no response. From which state did you apply? Only WA is processing applications very fast and inviting applicants for tests and interviews. Sydney Parramatta offices start work as well for a couple of last weeks. Let's see how it goes.

@Danny842003 You are right. The good news is the Sydney city office also started work from last week. Let's see how they will proceed.  So far no one seen yet be invited for test at Sydney office. Hoping for the best.

@Danny842003 Congratulations! Danny. I submitted my application last year December. Still, waiting. Happy to know Parramatta is inviting for tests. Have you mentioned Parramatta for a test interview in your application? I mentioned the Sydney City center. 

Is anyone invited for a test interview at the Sydney office? I applied last year December. No news yet. 

@warren84 I am living in the eastern suburbs of Sydney which is close to Sydney city office. Will Parramatta consider only western Sydney suburbs applicants? Will they consider other areas of Sydney as well? Very ambiguous situation.

Hi Everyone, 

An update as today we received an invitation for our interview and test! Very surprised - we were not expecting the invite so soon. We thought there would be a big back log due to Covid. It is scheduled for 11th Sep. We're located in Perth and our application was submitted on 11/02/2020. 

Our daughter became a citizen on 05/08/2020 as she didn't need to have an interview or test.

Good luck to everyone here!

 

It is excellent news. Congratulations. I submitted my application on 4 December last year based in Sydney. No response so far. Desperately, waiting for T/I call.
