RoEire Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Hello! I'm really struggling to get someone to sign my 1195 form. My dentist is on PR so can't sign. I'm thankfully healthy, so no steady GP who's willing to sign it. I asked my Bank Manager, who wasn't comfortable signing as we've never met in person (despite being with them for 4 years ) and we don't have kids in school. It's such a small thing, but is really tripping me up! I asked a JP, but they weren't comfortable as they don't know me 1 year. My last option is that our friend is a registered Midwife working in NSW who would sign it. My only question is that it lists 19. Medical Practitioner and 27. Nurse - a Midwife is not technically a nurse... it's a bit of an industry anomaly - I wouldn't have known that it was a difference before speaking to my friend. I've asked the Department helpline who just said to 'use my own judgement at my own risk' - very helpful! Anyone have any insight or opinion?

Would your bank manager be willing to meet you in person and sign the form? Would only take 10 min of their day. I think medical practitioner can be your midwife friend but I suppose it's a bit of a risk, depending on how strictly the role titles are governed. Are there any legal or finance people in your workplace who might qualify? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris9 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 VIC has picked up Feb '20 applications for the Test Invites. One guy (Applied 9th Feb) has just updated in Immi Tracker. I guess they pick the applications State Wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have only one designated test centre per application based on the applicants location, so naturally queues are based on each location.

Ravi2019 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Hi experts, I have two queries: 1) How long does it take go get a letter via post once application status is approved on immi account? 2) Anyone from Manningham City Council? and what is the time frame, when I check https://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/ceremony_backlog nothing comes up in Manningham, does it mean there is no waiting period in this Council? Moreover https://www.manningham.vic.gov.au/australian-citizenship have ceremonies almost every two weeks. Appreciate your valuable comments Below is my Timeline Applied Citizenship 10.11.2019 Invitation 30.01.2020 Test Date 03.03.2020 Approval Approved Council Manningham City VIC Ceremony Awaiting Cheers!!!

Indianinoz Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Is it OK to call up the immigration department periodically(say every 2-3 months) to ensure you haven't missed any appointment/email and ask status of application? Has anyone else done that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance, Scroll down to "Time and Location" here, it says that overseas tests can be arranged: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/citizenship/test-and-interview/learn-about-citizenship-interview-and-test I'm guessing you didn't update your application to give them your overseas address, at the bottom of your email there should be a paragraph titled Update Us, I would start by following that and updating your details. They will possibly get in contact with you after doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
