Rebbecca Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Anyone have an update from the Sunshine Coast? Applied 4th May 2018 test 8th May 2019 waiting approval just sent off for my second foi and a month ago I had a call from the CO after complaining on the global feedback. He said that he approves 400 a week and that he’s in April right now so I’ll be coming up soon. He said keep checking my mailbox so I’ve been doing it daily for over a month now i said that it was BS that regional areas get longer approvals yet there’s so many people in major cities getting same day approvals and there’s many applicants from 2019 getting their citizenship within a few months. This process is utter BS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations on passing your test, I am not from the same council but I just had a quick question. The approval on the immi site did you get an email notification or did you check on the site itself? I have by test yesterday and have a very similar timeline, so hoping for a quick approval.

No email. I checked the immi account. I had a nice case officer for the interview and she told me that there is no email sent for the approval. She also mentioned that she just needed to run some checks and that if everything was ok she expected to be able to approve within a day or two. So I checked this morning! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryan Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Hi, I have a question on the required documents to be produced on the exam day! Is Birth Certificate is Mandatory document? I do not have one. Whats the alternative to it? Does Statutory declaration is sufficient? Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 What did you provide in your application? The letter is very generic. They want sight of originals you had to provide in your application. This differs from country to country as the official documentation differs. Just take those.
