sandch Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Hello All Area: Moreland (Melbourne) Application online: 4 Feb 2014 Test & interview: 25 Feb 2014 Approval: 25 Feb 2014 Ceremony: 1 May 2014 We were led to expect a long delay between approval and ceremony, but I think they're trying to catch up (more than 200 received certificates in this ceremony) Good luck to everyone currently in the pipeline!

jmartin8010 Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 Hi maulajatt, No, DIBP does not send any emails regarding citizenship approval or ceremony dates. They only send out official letters as far as I know. The only time you receive an email in regards to your citizenship application is when they schedule you for a test (interview) and also there is an automatic acknowledgement email sent out when the application is received by the department. Hope that helps. From the information provided on this thread, I understand department sends letter of approval and ceremony dates to the applicants.

Quinkla Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I would imagine answers along the lines of: I did not serve in the armed forces As a student, I was exempt from military service I served in the catering corps which did not engage in front line service My unit was never deployed on active service I have only one leg and therefore failed the army medical There were no wars when I was in the army Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
