You were right! We got our test invite 2 Nov, applied 14 April. Hopefully city of Melbourne will do the ceremony pretty quickly!

Unfortunately I’m in Vic so very unlikely to get a test invite this side of Christmas, unless I’m mistaken and I hope that I am? do you have a link to the posts re people applying in March 2022 getting invited??

Hi all, tried to search for this as I’m sure it’s been answered before but couldn’t find it. Applied citizenship April 2022, thinking of moving back to Uk for 2.5 years in March 2023, then come back (in VIC so I know it’s unlikely to get a test before then). I know it can’t be approved whilst I’m overseas but my question is how long can the application be sitting there on hold before they cancel and I have to reapply? We can prove substantial ties (own a house, our newborn’s a citizen, bank account, super etc) and satisfy the general residence as at application, will they say we no longer satisfy it on our return? We really want the citizenship as we intend to live in australia when the baby goes to school etc, is it too risky to go ? other option is to renew our rrv and then reapply?? anyone have any advice or risks to share?

I think the offshore might have something to do with it, I have read they are prioritising onshore with borders closed. Yes nomination was super quick, seems a bit strange that your nomination isn’t cleared as I don’t see how offshore would impact that?

No I haven’t had access to it, all handled by my immigration agent (who works for my employer). I’ve only heard through them and they usually download the notifications and email them to me.

Yay looks like I’m the odd exception as I just got told by my immigration agent I got the grant this morning! Waiting for the notification to be forwarded! thanks to all on the forum it’s been a great help during the process. Hope you all get your grants soon

Hi all, Any grants for general accountant lately? I’ve recently applied for 186 TRT under general accountant: Nomination and application lodged: 22 January 2021 Applicants: 2 onshore State: VIC Health Check: Cleared 9 March 2021 Status: Nomination - finalised, Visa - further assessment Can anyone provide any more information on further assessment, can it be stuck on further assessment for a long time or do any of the long timers have a general estimate of how long it would be stuck on this phase before a grant? thanks in advance!
