I’m very sorry Shiela to hear that your application has taken this long. Is there any reason for the delay? I know that we have almost the same timeline upto the citizenship test. My family and I already attended our citizenship ceremony two weeks ago. Hope that immigration will find notice on the waiting time of your application.

Sheila Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Thanks for your kind wishes. There is no apparent reason. I think they just forgot about my application. How long it took you to get ceremony date after approval? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainR Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) So it seems like its taking about 5-6 months from initial application until receiving a test date and then another ludicrously long wait after that... Wifes application went in on the 22nd December 2017 so hopefully will hear something this month or next.

catatemyfish Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I think it's the luck of the draw tbh. My husband's application was received on the 6th of February and he had his test on Wednesday past. We'll probably have a really long wait for the approval letter and ceremony date now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check on line. Sons status changed to approved within 24 hours after test but it was a few days before he got e mail/letter confirmation.

I am assuming that nowadays people are getting test dates exact after 6 months, which is very good news. Thank you! Just passed the test yesterday too. So happy, not sure about the 6 months though. Weird I also sent them an email on the 6th of April and got my test email on the 27th of April. Not sure if related, other people think it is just coincidence.

Rorz Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I received good news today. Letter received today and my test / interview is tomorrow! Not much notice but after a 12 month wait im not complaining. Applied May 2017. Paper based application. NSW applicant. British background. Hoping for a quick turnaround on the ceremony date so I can apply for my passport and be eligible for the socceroos at this years world cup. Im pretty handy as a centre forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikkeskill Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Hi guys, hope this is the correct feed to ask. Does anyone know how long I have to wait to be eligible for citizenship. I came as a permanent resident on a subclass 100 visa. I’ve been here 3 years now. The website says 4 but I spoke to immigration a while ago and they said 3 years. So just want to be sure before I apply. Thanks, Rikke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the date you emigrated was the first time you visited Australia then you'll have to wait 4 years. If however you visited previously then you can back date your 4 year resident period to up to a year before you arrived. The reason being that the residence period is 4 years but you can be out of the country for up to 12 months of that period - and there's nothing to say it can't be the first 12 months of that 4 year period. You don't need to be in Australia on the first day of your residence period (or on any of the first 365 provided you haven't left the country since arriving) but you do need to have been in Australia at some point over 4 years ago and can't have been in Australia illegally at any point in the previous 4 years (includes period on certain bridging visas) as that restarts the clock. I think there was also some catch that meant this didn't work for people who came out on 457s - but I don't remember why. But get it all right and you only actually need to have lived in Australia for 3 years before being eligible to apply for citizenship. Put the correct dates into the citizenship calculator and it should show this for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobic Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Just got my test today and noticed my immi account has changed to approved. What is the next step after that? Will I receive a letter from immi to confirm the approval and then another one with the ceremony's date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Yes you will get a letter confirmation then you will be informed by your council/shire when you are to attend a ceremony. Congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
