Also, did they ask this only because you traveled overseas after the application for citizenship ? Is this something that needs to be provided when you are doing the application itself ? How long was the overseas trip ? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhi1234 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Hi Brisbane folks, Has anyone received ceremony invitation for 29th April ceremony by Brisbane City Council yet? They send invitation by mail only and I am wondering if I'll be part of it. Ideally, I should have received by now if I am in the list but I have seen some comments earlier that they usually send invitations upto 2 weeks before ceremony. Tried contacting council directly and DOHA but nobody is ready to give any info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeyebonel Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Do they update your Immi online account status upon approval of the citizenship application? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rach Brisbane Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I sat my test on 7 March (100%) and haven't had my approval letter yet. I know my police checks are clear (I'm very boring hahaha). Is it normal to not hear anything for this long after? Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Rach, My partner sat his test on 03/09/2018 and is still waiting for approval. He got 100% in test also. The interviewer told him that approval could take 6 months from test but its been 7 months now and still nothing. As per immi website he is still within the time frame of 16-21 months so I guess still a long wait ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheravanan Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 HI Guys, Last month my application has been approved. 1. I would like to know 6 months waiting for the ceremony is mandatory or if you have a place for you in the council ceremony (may be less number of conferral) you can take the pledge in a month time? 2. suppose some of the people want to post bond their ceremony then the next waiting list candidate can be called? Thanks in Advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your employment requires citizenship then you might have a case to request an urgent ceremony though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
