I just checked my immi account and it’s been approved today. I have t received an email yet on the details. With 16 days left until Australia Day maybe it will be another date but you never know. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do they ask at interview and do they ask for original documents? Have you been approved yet? Only after you have been approved does your wait for ceremony start... A lot of people have been approved soon after passing the test/interview, but some have had to wait a few days/weeks. Hi mate, thank you. Its very straight forward and you will go great im sure. They asked me hardly anything. 1. Original documents - in my case new birth certificate, passport, driving licence and a recent utility bill 2. Anyone else applying with me? 3. Have I ever been convicted of a crime or have any cases pending? I just checked my immi account and I have been approved! Awaiting ceremony now 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hope the ceremony in the city comes quick now - not that it matters really but its been nearly seven years and I reckon they owe me one ha! Fingers crossed I get in the March ceremony held in the city as opposed to May! I saw that there are 100 people at the aus day one in the city and the mayor is presenting which would be pretty cool. My friend just told me you get the invite by post which surprised me! Also he didnt get a tree! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been lucky with quick turnaround on the initial stages, but now our ceremony wait is looking more average - swings and roundabouts hey. Our stories are incredibly similar, i'm near 7 years too. I think posted letter and email sometimes depending on you council. My other half's parents want to come over for a visit and will try and align it for when we get our ceremony, so i'm quite glad of this contact i've got at Moreland council... don't have to wait for snail mail to get the date confirmed! All the best mate, let us know how you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was 5th July 2013 I've been in marketing/digital projects and was working in non-profit for a long time, and that's when I got my 457 + subsequent 457 + 186 PR. Since then though I moved to a role at group company which does recruitment & training. I'm actually about to jump ship from here though to move in to my first agency gig, which is something I've wanted to do for a long time, but with the visa arrangements hadn't been able to previously.

Haha. Freaky. If we had been in the same industry then I probably would start believing we are actually in The Matrix. Agency is fun but tough in my experience! A lot of bad agencies out there so let me know where you apply. I've been a senior role for a while and I have worked with a shed load of good and bad agencies here in Melbourne. Many are just not that good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the backlog of 2017 applicants which were running very late attended to? Yes me! Applied 18 June 2019 (not Sydney) and my account has remained unchanged since that day.

Oh, its almost 7 months now, hopefully you get invited for the test very soon. If you don't mind, may I ask: a) Which town/council are you from? b) Did you travel overseas for long period(>30 days) after application?

hpaille Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Hi, I apologize in advance if this question has already been answered. I started my citizenship application using my immi account, but while the questionnaire asked about our children, I didn't find where to put my wife's details (she is on my PR visa). Are we supposed to have 2 separate applications or did I miss something? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
