Nemesis Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 1 hour ago, tech123 said: Is the AFP check the main reason for the delay of the approval? I have called the citizenship dept last week and they told me to wait first for the approval that is sent by post (not by email). I am in touch with my council but everything goes down to what the DIBP feeds them. I was advised though by my council to contact them before the schedule of the ceremony just to double check if my name is in the list of attendees. You know, just in case gaps in communication happens. How would I know, I don't work for DIBP! The whole system is in chaos due to the changes, at a rough guess that is more likely to be the reason for a delay. The AFP check is done in minutes.

Just this morning, 2 mins after doing my Wednesday novena prayers (which I have been doing for the last 15 years) I got a call from the citizenship dept checking on the movement of my son to Australia. Good thing is that the officer told me that they are already processing my application.

No...it's just a matter of how strong your faith is.....so others call it luck, some call it coincidence, but for me....an answered prayer:-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
