Sheila Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Immigration doesn't require educational documents. Name on the passport is considered as your name. As secondary evidence, you can use medicare/Australian Driving license. Credit cards /Debit cards. Bank letter etc. Hope it will help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheila Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 There may not be official holidays but very limited activity during this period 15 dec - 15 January. Therefore we should not be very hopeful regarding approvals during this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have received a phone call whether I’ll be able to attend an official citizenship ceremony and they also send me email to confirm and urged me to reply immediately.

Eddie0719 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I called the DIBP yesterday and was told my application is in the final decision, but I believe this is their excuse. @Elliot Tsao Were you told your application was in final decision but still not got approved?

Sometimes they're helpful and will look up your file. Other times they will not tell you anything. Actual confirmation came by email.
