twister292 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Anyone have a ceremony tomorrow in Melb CBD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maulajatt Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 It seems that Melbourne CBD have a huge waiting time. Dont know why they cant arrange small and more frequent ceremonies. It would be best if they can arrange same day evening ceremonies in the DIBP office itself, this will save lot of money and effort for arranging ceremonies, and reduce the headache for applicants as well.

Mine today is a small reserve ceremony, because my council has a too long waiting time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pakenham Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 My application's status has a new line, "Application being processed further", does it mean anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pakenham Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Nothing....my wife application never shown 'application being process further'. She received an email to sit for the test without having that status, and once she finished the test, within 24 hours the status shown 'applicant approved' then back to waiting mode :SLEEP: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twister292 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I had my ceremony on Tue, online console now shows "application completed" instead of "Applicant approved". My PR has also dropped off VEVO. Now I'm waiting for the passport to be ready...I applied on Wed, it takes about 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maulajatt Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Congratulations !!! Your posts are kind of testing of Immi system as well. Like What will happen to online system status after each step. This is good information for all anxious souls who are always worried about online statuses and what will happen next. I had my ceremony on Tue, online console now shows "application completed" instead of "Applicant approved". My PR has also dropped off VEVO. Now I'm waiting for the passport to be ready...I applied on Wed, it takes about 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imaxx Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Hi Imaxx. this is the link, https://www.ecom.immi.gov.au/inquiry/query/query.do?action=citz Thanks yc1ten. I can see my children's status as both approved on 03/07/2014 but have yet to received their approval letters. But I reckon what is more important is to receive the invite letter for the ceremony. Thanks heaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imaxx Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) Ta. And my children are both adults so I reckon they should get their own approval letters. I remember though the DIBP officer linked my children's application to mine as we indicated we want to have the ceremony together. Now it's a guessing / waiting game for the ceremony. Blacktown Council does not post ceremony dates in their website unlike Parramatta. Wrote them to ask but never got a response. Very efficient :no: Edited July 12, 2014 by imaxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my email test appointment 2 days after I submitted my application online, and the test was a week after. Did you try to ring them? I did call them last week, they say it could take up to 8 eight weeks. I am not sure if this is ordinary thing or it is a rare case :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
