But if they're saying like that then try calling immigration and get help what they will suggest you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) Apparently, there is a generalised delay in approval letter dispatching. Most likely due to a lot of pending applications. Edited July 11, 2017 by Sheila 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexie Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Just got my citizenship yesterday. Well it has been such a long journey for me to find a place to belong and it is this country. The citizenship ceremony went well with all guest speeches until the moment they handed out the citizenship certificates and thing began to mess up. People who already received their citizenship certificates started going all around, children running, screaming and crying... There was even no conclusion for the ceremony, the refreshment, well, I didnt taste it. Well I guess I cant expect more than that in a city with crowded migrants. Anyway, one thing for sure, I am so proud to be a part of this beautiful country. As one of our guest speaker mentioned that it was "you", the migrants who are going to make this country a better place, not those who were born here. So people of this forum, you have been through challenges to prove that you are deserved all best things, you should be proud of yourselves now. Good luck for those who are still waiting and I hope you will enjoy your achievement as much as I do. P.S: Passport application is another nightmare. Make sure you have all the original documents with you (in my case: citizenship cert, old passport, and change of name cert, driver licence). Make sure you fill all pages in the application, a (spare) guarantor if you can, to be with you on the spot (as my passport photo was too big in comparison with the standard, luckily I had another guarantor with me so that I didnt have to waste another working day). And for application in Post, some place you have to make appointments, some you dont have too, if you come early, you can finish soon and dont have to queue so long). When I left the Post, there was a line with more than 10 pp. :))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am finally a citizen George's River (Hurstville) had two ceremonies back-to-back last night, ceremonies that weren't even advertised on their website. :-o A lot of strength and patience to those still waiting!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
