dsdrussell Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Application received - 13th May 2019 Randwick council I am yet to hear anything, I know the wait time is long and I would be shocked if I heard anything yet but just wondering if anyone in same location and similar application time is any further? Thanks :) I applied in March 2019, had my appointment and test in December. Sydney test centre, although Northern Beaches council for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they have received. I was wondering if they confirm after checking if everything is in order or if they need anything else..... If they need anything they will let you know.

Hex Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 FYI - for our records. My wife and I (with 2 children on my application), applied for citizenship on the 1st of January, for Sydney council. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indianinoz Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Hello all, What is the email address from which you get invitation for the Citizenship test, approval and ceremony? To avoid the email going into Spam/Promotions folder etc., I'd like to add it to my contacts/white list in my email account so that I don't miss it.

You'll get the Citizenship appointment from: noreply@mail.appointments.homeaffairs.gov.au I also received a text from them at the same time. For approval, they send you a letter through the post, although you can see the approval prior to this in your Immi account. Ceremony is via letter as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only asked me for Passport, Aus Driving Licence and Medicare card. Will vary depending on person interviewing you but Tenant Lease will cover you for 2nd proof of address if they ask for it. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeiMing Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Hello friends, I just noticed that I haven't received an Acknowledgement letter or Email from Immigration department after I lodged my citizenship application online. but the status online shows 'RECEIVED'. should I be concerned or it's just normal. I lodged my Citizenship application online in April of 2019. not received any news yet since then. thanks guys for any clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi LeiMing, Go to your ImmiAccount --> "View Details" of your Citizenship Application --> from your Citizenship Application main screen go to "Messages" (second option from the top of the Menu bar on the left hand side of the screen) If your application was submitted correctly, there should be an "Acknowledgement of Application Received" email in your messages which is an auto generated confirmation email containing all the details of your application (e.g., your Client ID and Application ID). I hope this helps. Best of luck with your application! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s really a long wait for you, i haven’t heard from anyone have been waiting for such long wait to receive nothing yet. Did you attach all documents required at the time of application? Did you check the action required section? can you update your timeline properly. Hope you will be sent appointment soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were almost 12 months before we heard anything other than it showing received on Immi so it seems normal to me. Don’t panic, the wait time has been huge but is improving.

Indianinoz Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Hello all, From what I make out from this thread, tentative waiting time for invitation is as follows: a) Usually within 9-10 months for Sydney applicants b) Usually within 6 months for all other regions Please correct me if I'm wrong. Is there someone who applied before 30th June 2019(other than Sydney) and before 31st March 2019(Sydney) and still hasn't been invited for the test?

What i understand is the smallest city invites for the test quickly rather than big city like sydney. Sydney is the biggest city in australia and no doubt why applicants receive invitation late due to have large amounts of application. I guess Perth residents receive too quick due to low or medium volume of applications. Edited January 6, 2020 by KazBaker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
