Hi After citizenship approval, do we get the invite for the ceremony through post or is it still on immiaccount abd thru email?

I was overseas for 3 months. When I compared my invite date with others who had applied the same time as me, it seemed liked mine was 3-4 months later

In our case it did slow down the process for the interview as we were invited later than we had anticipated but I dont think it will have anything to do with your ceremony once you are approved

Approval finally came in. 2.5 months after the interview. Hope we can make it to the Australia Day ceremony

Could you tell me how long it took your application to get approved after the interview?

We are not. My wife applied 15 months ago and according to the website 90% of applications reach a decision in 14 months or less. Call the department but they said they cant provide status update

Hi 2 months after the interview abd we have heard nothibg re the approval. Is that normal?

Hi guys Recently I see most people (99%) getting approved a day after the interview. My wife had her interview 5 weeks ago and still nothing. Is that normal?

Hi Once the status changes to "approved" on immiaccount, do we also receive a letter in post? Also my wife and I had interview on the same day. Very smooth process and super friendly officers. We were both asked to fill out a form which we both did by the end of the day. I got approved the next day while my wife has been waiting for 25 days now and no update. Is that normal?

My wife and I had our interviews a couple of weeks ago in VIC(although our application dates one month apart with her applying one month after me) . Both officers were super nice and the process was quick and smooth. We were both asked to fill out a form and upload on our portal which we both did that same day . My approval came the next day but for her we have heard although it has been 2 weeks. Is that normal? I am assuming as we were both invited together , then applications should have been at a similar stage, but dont get why hers should take much longer. Any ideas?

Hi Re your first question I applied for both my wife and myself using my oen immiaccount. They would still be 2 separate application but under one immiaccount.

Hi everyone I applied for citizenship in Sep 21. I left Australia in May and came back in September. Everyone told me I would receive an invite immediately after I arrive in Australia but there has been no news in the past 20 days.I just called the department and was told told shocking news. I was told I needed to wait and that my travel AFTER the date of my application would balso be taken into account when they are assessing my application meaning I could be refused because I spent more than 90 days outside Australia AFTER my application date. I spoke with a lawyer last year and was told the residence requirement only applies before you submit your application and once the application is submitted the assessment will only be based on travel before that date. Do you have any information? Regards

Same old cliche answers. Said your status is now showing "onshore". No updates on your case yet. You need to wait as it is still within the processing time window. I applied in sep21and people from feb 22 in VIC are now getting invited!

Tw o weeks gone and no news

Dont fret I hear some are approved the same day Some might even take up to 2 months. But the longer wait time does not also mean something is not right. Its normal. You just need to be patient and wait
