A child born in Australia with one parent PR and or a citizen acquires citizenahip. Yes. If you're on any other visa. No.

Hi All,

I've been lurking for a while but thought i would add our timelines.

Me - British

  1. Date applied                                                          21/5/18
  2. City/Council area                                                 Frankston, Victoria
  3. Online / Paper                                                      Online
  4. Date received the acknowledgement email     21/5/18
  5. Date of the Citizenship Test                               10/4/19      Passed 100%
  6. Approval                                                                Still waiting
  7. Date of ceremony                                                Still waiting

Husband - Portuguese

  1. Date applied                                                          21/5/18
  2. City/Council area                                                 Frankston, Victoria
  3. Online / Paper                                                      Online
  4. Date received the acknowledgement email     21/5/18
  5. Date of the Citizenship Test                               22/5/19     Passed 100%
  6. Approval                                                                22/5/19
  7. 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!

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!).

Pleased to say we've got all of our application bits together ready to submit. Friday evening of this week we will be officially joining the queue!

It'll be a long wait i know, but after our immigration journey so far we'll be raising a toast to having the app submitted nonetheless 🥂

Further info provided was a birth certificate translated by NAATI.

 

That should be straight forward to be assessed. 

Don't understand what logical behind Department to assess cases.

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%.
