Its like Declaration of Service and if you or anyone in your family is not in govt service which can be conflict of interest, then it will be good.

was she too excited to reach the SALE in ZARA? Yes, there maybe issues, until her application is approved.

Answer to your Q. https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/form-listing/forms/1359.pdf

If it is within timeframe of processing , they will say.. "WAIT. All good "

AUS FED POLICE CHECK is done by home affairs and they already charge you money in fee for citizenship. Overseas police check -> You have to do yourself. If you added dates of country visited correctly, then you need not worry to think if you missed. Immi account tells you what to attach in the documents as mandatory. For some it is mandatory depending upon how long they stayed in other country, for some - Not required.

is it with everyone that they could see the CEREMONY INVITE in IMMI or in email, before getting the invite letter in postal? Like can we expect update in immi account first and then wait for letter in mailbox. please comment.

Ignore it, if u r single applicant. See previous msgs to see what all needs to be attached.

Immigration software is not a piece of junk. For ex : Try resubmitting your citizenship application with same credentials and passport, etc => it will not let you even move forward after 2/3 pages of application, becuase of so many validations embedded in software. Few steps are kept manual / requires authoritative access from department, so applicants don't create a mess !!! Trust them.

The list goes in a computer database and even if it gets appended in the end row of the table which has all the information for the applicants, they sort it and then send invites. After your test is done, council is assigned and if you move & update the address online, it is still required to send to new council by ringing them on helpline.

 do you happen to know what further steps does the team need to take to route the application and if these are complex or how long they take on average to do the change ? My thoughts : This may not be too complex to route , as they must be freshly sorting on approval date each time they sit to send invitations , but Lets say, you were 100th person in a queue in place 1, and on relocation => you moved to 150th or 50th person in place 2. So you have to see if [ time taken to process application for 50th place + routing time ] is less than in your current 100th person in a queue in place 1. And if you end up being 150th person in queue in place 2, then gone! Don't move just to fasten this process, if you are not so sure and call them to route your application.

See, if you update address online, even then it has to be routed manually by team to schedule further steps in application. Changing and switching back does not expedite. Usually they say, if you are planning to stay for more than a month, then update. Wait times will be still applicable in new place, plus how long they take to route you to new department.

Work/office location does not matter. Where you reside, matters!

Hi Folks. Could you please tell which Tab or place or page we can see Ceremony invite in IMMI ACCOUNT ?

Your police clearance must have been stuck !! That's the last step. Everyone goes thru AFP PCC, for some it is quick !! It is a name check only - I believe. If your name is unique, it must be quick. What's your name ? Michael , John, William, etc Share your profile and travel history , so we can comment.

They can expedite the ceremony in some cases but not test. have you done your test?
