Does anyone know, once you pass your citizenship test, are you formally notified if you have been officially approved as being eligible for a citizenship ceremony or is it just presumed that you have been approved and are simply waiting for an invite to attend a local citizenship ceremony? Just a bit confused on how that process works. 

Immi account status changes from Received to Approved and in most cases, we do receive a mail in post.

MNB,

Thanks. Ok, so with the approved status do you now have a ceremony invitation, or is that another step that will happen sometime in the future?

that's the next step

MNB, 

Good to hear. To confirm, you had a 2 month wait post test/interview before the status was changed to Approved? Was there any additional doc requirements that they were waiting to assess?

Yes, had my test on 30th Jan. No, wasn't asked for any additional docs. Might have been some background checks.

Hi!

I had my test on Feb 11th and am still waiting for approval - has anyone been waiting longer? I'm seeing that lots of people are approved on the same day or within a few! Realise there is no one to contact as I am still within processing times... Would be assigned to Wollongong council if anyone has had a similar experience  

Waiting since 30th January
