I  finally received the invitation for the interview and test for the 27th of May ,after 13 months in Victoria. 

At the time I was was overseas, and made arrangements to return on the 24th to attend the interview on the 27th.

On the 23rd of May, I received an email stating that since I am overseas my interview/test is cancelled , and to contact the department for a fresh appointment.

I am back in Australia, and trying to contact the department with no luck.

Can anyone please suggest me the best way to inform DHA Victoria of my return. I called 131880 and they wanted me to upload a letter to my immi account.

Is there an e mail address or contact no to get in touch directly?

Thank you,

Mano

I have finally received the invitation for the interview and test ,after 13 months in Victoria. 

I have an English translation of my birth certificate done by a sworn translator from my birth country, while I have applied from Australia.

Will the Department of Home Affairs accept this?

Thank you,

Mano

You're all good, I've been overseas twice while I've been waiting. If your visa's travel facility has expired you'll need to pay for a RRV, and it won't progress while you're overseas (so if your time comes, it'll wait until you're back onshore before you get the approval), but no issues with coming and going other than that though.

If you applied in March 2021 you've prob got 5-6 months to go until you hear anything anyway.

Thank you very much for the info mate!

I have applied from Victoria in March 2021, and need to travel overseas for a couple of months.

Does anyone know whether I am legally allowed to travel while awaiting an outcome of the application?
