PRPD 1 Posted June 11, 2019 Hi All, I've been lurking for a while but thought i would add our timelines. Me - British Date applied 21/5/18 City/Council area Frankston, Victoria Online / Paper Online Date received the acknowledgement email 21/5/18 Date of the Citizenship Test 10/4/19 Passed 100% Approval Still waiting Date of ceremony Still waiting Husband - Portuguese Date applied 21/5/18 City/Council area Frankston, Victoria Online / Paper Online Date received the acknowledgement email 21/5/18 Date of the Citizenship Test 22/5/19 Passed 100% Approval 22/5/19 Date of ceremony Still waiting So frustrating to still be waiting 9 weeks after my test when my husband got approved same day. We are really hoping for the September ceremony date for our council, as the location has a special meaning for us. Fingers crossed I get approved soon! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plz explain if some one know exactly mean of this . Thanks garry Hey Garry You do not fall in to a particular group. There is no criteria which says whether you'll be completed in the first 75 or 90% of applications. These are simply statistics from the processing office to show the current workload and how it effects your estimated waiting time. It shows that 75% of the entire volume of applications are done in an estimated period of time, and 90% in another. This leaves 10% of applications which take longer than that (usually more complex applications). It is really only used for a rough guide, and many applicants will experience shorter (and some longer) time frames. Think of it this way - if 75% of all applications are completed in 18 months, that means a big proportion of applications are presumably completed in less that 18 months. It's currently: Application to decision 75% - 14 months 90% - 19 months This means of all the applications submitted, 75% are estimated to receive a decision with 14 months, and another 15% (making 90% of all applications) estimated a decision in 19 months. The remaining 10% are not considered in these time frames. To look at the entire estimated timeline: Application to ceremony 75% - 18 months 90% - 23 months 'Application to ceremony' may be more useful, as this is the entire citizenship time frame. This is currently 75% in 18 months, and 90% in 23 months. As a general rule, unless you have a particularly complex application you should really expect to have a decision within the 90% frame (but again there is no guarantee unfortunately!). 2 [2013] 417 Working Holiday [2014] 417 Second Working Holiday [2015] 457 Temp Work Skilled (Marketing Specialist) [2016] 457 Temp Work Skilled - Subsequent Entrant (De facto partner) [2018] 186 ENS TRT (2 applicants, LR, Marketing Specialist) [2019] Citizenship by Conferral: 16/06/19 | Test email: 02/09/19 | Test passed: 17/10/19 | Approval: 29/10/19 | Ceremony: 03/06/2020 Journey complete thanks to everyone on Pomsinoz for making the last 7 years of Australian immigration more bearable!

LouDYorkie 345 Posted June 12, 2019 second question : what is the mean of this on home affairs website ?? 75% applications processing in 14 months and 90% application processing time is 19 months . ?? what is that exactly mean . It really does mean what it says, it is average processing times for applications. If an application took longer than 19 months, it is counted as one of the remaining 10%.
