Sheila Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Status changes after the ceremony. Sometimes after passport printing. Approval doesn't reflect in IMMI account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohhh This is ridiculous because there is still small probability that the letter might be lost in the mail and we don't even know that It has been sent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Approval doesn't reflect in IMMI account. I received my passport early last week. Nothing updated in VEVO or Immi Account. VEVO still shows PR and Immi Account just says Citizenship application received with the last update on the day of alllication. This does mean if and letter is lost in the mail then the recipient won’t know. Rediculous situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Tsao Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I do think DIBP data system and update service need a revolutionary change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful for what you wish for. Look what happened when they revamped the ATO systems it was bedlam ?

Sheila Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) it is been 6 months since I applied for Citizenship. As per service standards, 75% cases should be finalised in 10 months. 4 months left. Edited October 16, 2017 by Sheila 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhvor87700 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Abhishek, BREAKING NEWS: a win for multicultural Australia I wanted you to know straight away, just moments ago, the Senate here in the Australian Parliament threw out the Government’s changes to Australia citizenship laws. That means they have said no to the university level English test. It means they have said no to the three year additional wait that was going to cause some people to wait more than ten years before they got to become Australian citizens. Because of the university English test, some people were going to live here their entire working lives and were never going to be able to become Australian citizens. So right now, we’ve just had the win that you’ve been campaigning for. I want to give you full credit, because let’s not pretend this was done by members of Parliament. This was done by an extraordinary community activism that you were part of and you made sure that you never wasted a conversation. This will make a real difference to the lives of people who will become good Australian citizens. This will make a massive difference in people’s lives. And will guarantee that a whole lot of people who were never going to hear the words ‘Welcome home’ will now be able to make a pledge of commitment to Australia. Now the Government may well have another go at this. The Government may well come back and try again. So, if you are eligible for Australian citizenship under current law my advice is don't waste time. Get your application in under current law. Get your application in before the government tries to do this again. I was Minister for Citizenship for a time and when I was, I got to write the message that was read out of every citizenship ceremony and the message that I had finished with the words ‘Welcome home.’ We want to be able to say ‘welcome home’ to you. Those of you who are ready to become good Australian citizens, those of you who are ready to make your pledge of commitment to Australia. Get your applications in. Make the application go through the existing test. Make your pledge of commitment to this country and the Labor Party will be very, very proud to say back to you ‘welcome home’. No doubt the government will come back. There will be another attempt at this. But right now enjoy the victory, enjoy the moment and know your activism made this happen. Congratulations. Tony. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On reading some "dummy questions" and "dummy" being the operative word, the standard of English was shameful. Yes this is a victory for the Labour party.. well done! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themaccas Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 We applied (Sydney, NSW) sept 16, tests - November 2016, approvals gained - December 2016 (x2), Jan (x2), May (x1). We are a family of 5 and all applied on the same day and our approvals were all vastly different dates. We had our ceremonies in July 2017 and are now all Aussie citizens!

abhvor87700 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Yes,@kkumar, citizenship applications can be made online. We have been inundated with enquiries since the 18th. The trick is to make an application as soon as you are eligible making sure that your application is complete with all the necessary paperwork the way the department requires it to be. Any additional request for information or documentation will delay your process. All the best!MARN: 1685881Anything posted in this forum is not migration advise, the information shared is general.
