Congrats!

What do you mean you “moved” overseas? If you permanently moved elsewhere, you broke your permanent residency and therefore will not be eligible for citizenship. If you stranded out of the country for COVID-19-related reasons, then make sure Home Affairs knows about it. Rule of thumb is: you cannot be conferred citizenship while overseas, reason why they ASK if you’re planning any trips during the test while you wait for approval.

Applied in November. Centrelink Darwin City.

Did the test a day after you, I'm still waiting. Did you do your test at Centrelink?

Where did you apply, if you don't mind me asking?

Hi all, I was wondering whether the fact that my citizenship test was conducted in a regional area by Human Services could explain the delay in the change of status from 'Received' to 'Approved'. My timeline is as follows: Application submitted online on 02/11/20 Test invitation receiced on 10/02/21 Test sat on 10/03/21 at Centrelink Darwin City Awaiting approval. Some friends took the test at the Home Affairs building in Darwin, and their application got approved straight away. Should I be worried? Thanks.
