themaccas Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I just logged onto my Immi account and it now says approved. I applied early January. Obviously happy but it says on the account your citizenship ceremony will be up to 6 months from the date you are approved so still a bit annoyed about that but at least the ball is rolling now Does anyone know who sends the ceremony appointment? Is it immigration or the local council?Immigrations send a monthly list of ‘approved’ to the local council who add the names to the next ceremony list. The invite for the ceremony comes from your local council but that may not be until a few weeks before the ceremony. You could leave it a month and call your council to ask if you are on the list. Your council should list the next available ceremony dates on their website. Good luck and enjoy the ceremony! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themaccas Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Hi Guys, I have applied my citizenship on 20/10/2017 and got my email for the citizenship test for 11/12/2017. They have requested to bring original documents. However my old passport with entry date is lost. can you suggest me what can i do o this matter. I applied the citizenship using Moment of travel document. Do u think i need to talk with immigration? thank you samit Hi Samit my children had done the same so I went into my email archives and found the Singapore Airlines eticket they used when they came over and also the flight centre booking email and they accepted those with no problems.

Jemvin Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 What is the deal with comments regarding cancelling overseas trips ? I applied this month and have a trip booked in may which I stated the dates on application. Is there any reason I should worry about this?

The proof was all online already and was accessed from their new passport details. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheila Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Now all applicants are receiving approval through Immi account or some are still getting the letter without a change in immi account. How about Melbourne office? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themaccas Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 We opted to not go to Parramatta and went to Sydney CBD due to the delays, I think it is a better option, we phoned and asked to change our test centre on the phone and they did that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did my test on 4th Dec, my status still says received, there seems to be no consistency at all. As I have been out of the country 101 day, immi said I may need another police check ??!!!

Sheila Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 @Elliot Tsao if we don't letter approval letters by 15 Dec, it is unlikely to get in Christmas time. So Most likey it be postponed until 15 January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Tsao Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 @Sheila I think so. But if IMMI status will be changed to 'Approved' ( possible?) by 15 Dec, does Aus Postal service operate 15~23 Dec? Not sure, just pray and hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
