They just want to know that are you still with your employer and complying visa condition or May be they want to know you at least spent one year with your employer but it’s just my guess. I am not sure about it. Still it’s weird request. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They asked me submit my last tax return Does everyone have a same request ? This looks strange.... Did they ask you to provide this before or after your appointment/test?

There is heaps of app available that covers all the questions. And real citizenship test question is pretty standard and easy. I got % correct after practicing those quiz and questions in app. good luck ! Thanks alot KazBaker, yeah I am doing those quiz as well, but was wondering if there are anything else to look at.... thats why thought of asking the Newly Oz Citizens who has done the test recently.

They said bring all other docs and case will notify if they required anything later. Did you call them or email them? I did call them a couple of days ago and the lady who spoke to me told me that if I don't have the original document I won't be able to sit the test - I decided to call them again yesterday and another guy told me he is unsure if they will be ok with that and recommended me to email the regional citizenship department but I am still waiting for their reply.

Mazen Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Hi All, FYI, I have conducted the interview yesterday! This was very simple, I did this at the Centrelink office in my town me and my wife, the whole process took me 10 minutes and I walked away. I've assumed too many questions with lots of paperwork to review, based on the email received your interview could take up to 2 hours. The employee just reviewed my driver's license, DOB, didn't ask for any paperwork, took a photo, all that in the first 5 minutes, then the test exam finished in 5 minutes & got 100% results. She mentioned that I should wait for an official letter from the DOHA with the official outcome, she reckons that the ceremony will be on the coming Australia day. I could be one of the final persons with a long waiting queue for citizenship in this thread, I'll keep you all posted with future updates regarding the ceremony. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNT Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Hi All, I’ve been a follower of this group since September. Here to share the happy news. 9.25am appointment, verified my details with the counter officer (Passport, Driving Licence, Birth Certificate). Spent around 10mins at the counter.

Allocated PC for me n started the exam at 9.38am and finished at 9.41am.... lol I couldn’t believe it, passed with colours 100% I knew I’ll pass it, but not within 3mins. Now the waiting game for the Ceremony, but I’m not in a hurry. Timeline Arrived in AUS :- August 2015 PR Granted :- July 2019 Citizenship Application :- beginning of July 2020 (Myself n Partner) Acknowledgment :- Received same day within an hour DOHA letter received :- 22nd October 2020 Exam Date :- 3rd November 2020 State :- Adelaide, South Australia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris9 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Our citizenship journey finally came to a sweet end. Just finished my online virtual ceremony (with my son). So, happy to get the opportunity to attend the virtual ceremony and become the citizens. It was a long journey. I wish the best for all of you. Just hang in there and you'll reach the destination. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wannabepilot Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Hi Kris9, Congratulations, that's awesome news! A relatively short wait in the end :) When did you receive the invitation to the online ceremony? And was it in an email? As you may remember, I applied (and did the cit. test) only shortly after you, so you have got my hopes up!

I'm in the same boat, should have had mine originally on 9th April, I just want to get this done now. Hopefully now restrictions are relaxed they might start them again in the Melbourne CDB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this information from the gov website. In-person citizenship appointments continue to be on hold in regional Victoria. This will not impact your citizenship application. Some ceremonies are now being held online. See COVID-19 and the border, Citizenship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
