TIA Hello Normally waiting period for the ceremony letter/ date could take up to 6 months as a maximum from the approval date , but this depends and can take less than 6 months ( most of applicants got their ceremony letters start from 1 to 3 months) and also the DIPB issues the invitation letters for ceremony according to the council`s ceremonies dates... you can check your city council`s website to see the available ceremony dates... DIPB will end for you an invitation for the ceremony ,,,,, and also I`m waiting for the ceremony letter,,, good lucl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other info they wanted was my kids expired passports that we had originally applied with (just scanned and added them to the online application), Medicare card and for me to confirm my name as on some documents my middle name is there but it's not on my passport etc. I think the reason my application took so long is because the regional WA dept seems to be very slow, must be very busy.
