bhagath Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Hi, I moved from one end of NSW to other End of NSW. The test Center I chose while applying for my citizenship is 10 hrs away from my New location. I updated my new address with immigration. So, my worry is: Would I get the test Center close to my new address or would it be the previous address? Does any one know how it’s going to be? Please educate me. Thanks bhagath.

I have heard agents mention assisting clients with citizenship applications but I've never seen someone on a forum mention using one. HI KKumar, you will receive a letter from the Member of Parliament confirming that you have passed the test and are eligible to be a citizen. Depending on your council's current backlog, you will receive an invite in a few months to participate in the oath ceremony. They usually give a heads up a month in advance. carry your passport as form of identification to the ceremony. Rgds DAUS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did several different trial tests to get used to the type of questions and all the questions I had on my test I had seen before on these.

Had two or three questions on flags, several questions on Anzac Day and the first fleet, and then government and law. As you get multiple choice answers you can usually work out the correct one. Good luck with your test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rorz Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Anyone on here waiting for a ceremony invite for the northern beaches council area? The last one of the year is scheduled for the 19th November but I have been told on Monday they haven't sent the invites out for it yet. Wondering if anyone has received one. I am kind of hoping I will be on the list for the 19th as the next one isn't until Australia day which would be 7 months since my citizenship approval date and 19 months since submission.

You can’t skip BUT you can go back and review all your answers before pressing the final submit button. You have plenty of time to do this. I used less than 5 of my allocated 40 minutes and scored 100%. Not difficult. Just read the testable section of the document on the website. I also did some free on line tests, these were much harder and had questions beyond that section. The test only asks questions related to that section. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We applied before you, We were advised by Immigration, that there is no logic to waiting times, we were advised very unlikely we would get a test prior to next July which would be 19 months. However, with waiting period going up month by month, we were advised it could take longer ... We were Low risk applicants. Therefore we have decided to not both as said before, and moving back to the UK without taking citizenship. we cant be bothered to wait two years as job offers we have will pass. Also, my wife was not required to sit a test. we were in NSW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied December 2017 and obtained citizenship in August and now have my Australian passport. Have you approached your MP? I would certainly do that in your position.

rammygirl Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I assumed you could change them. I didn’t actually bother but it was an option before submitting. I honestly wouldn’t stress just read the information provided, you will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
