NaiKoN Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) We are waiting for around 17 months since test and soon 20 months since application and the status is still received. It's hard to say how much time will it take, there are few getting approval next day after the test and then there are people like us. So far the Brisbane team was the worst in terms of processing applications. Edited November 6, 2018 by NaiKoN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were no security checks and no concerns. Interview was in Brisbane, basically simple, checked documents and that's it. Complaints? Where? As far as I understand there is no legal procedure to influence processing time. Immigration says that the processing times are basically indicative and the only thing we can do is wait. Some people go through mp's and trying to write to minister etc., I will wait a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainR Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Location: Lake Macquarie/Newcastle, NSW Applied: 19 Jul 2018 Test: ? Approval? So today, 8 Nov 2018, I was contacted by a citizenship agent for more information as I am applying for exemptions under the 'Special Residence Requirement'. Not sure whether this will stretch things out even longer or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
