The above timeframe is average time for entire Australia. The Victoria processing timeframe is more than the average timeframe. I think around 50%( 75000 out of 145000 ) of applications are pending from Victoria ONLY.

Currently, DOHA is processing Nov 2020 applications for Melbourne as per other expat sites. Hopefully, you will get test invitation by end of March 2022.

Victorian are struggling to get test invite. Some of the Victorians are still waiting for test invite since Oct 2020. One of my friend lodged his application in Nov 2020 (Melbourne location) and he moved to Brisbane, his application got approved in March 2021, Ceremony completed on 26th Jan 2022. I also lodged at the same time (Nov 2020) and still struggling to get the test invite. I agreed that ceremony is taking around 9 to 12 months for Brisbane Candidates.

The average time for Victorian around 18 months to 24 months and ONLY 6 months for rest of the AUSTRALIA........

Not sure exactly when the Victorian will get the invitations due to discrimination while conducting tests in Victoria. I could see that the number of tests conducted in NSW from 1st July 2021 to 26th Nov 2021(within 5 months) was around 80K. 16K per month in NSW and hardly very few/none from Victoria in this period. I think, around 70% of pending applications are from Victoria.

Thank you very much for the information.

Please share your date of lodgement

Can some one through the light on number of citizenship tests conducting each day in Victoria. Looks like intensionally delaying citizenship applications in Victoria. We are behind 10 months if compare with NSW.

Can you please share the date of lodgement?

Can someone update whether citizenship test centres opened in Melbourne or not?
