I know few people who got invited for test in less than three months in perth. birth certificate which i gave from consulate is not acceptable. You mean from VFS Global ? See, that one is based on your PASSPORT and someone blind will not be able to read it from your Passport and prefer such a document - which is exact replica of your passport. They need from local municipality or 10th certificate/school leaving. A glitch is costing you time, please be patient and keep on follow up Edited February 3, 2021 by Melbournian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galisuman Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I heard who ever passed the test in September in metro Brisbane have got their ceremonies done last month 26th so I would say 4 months lead time from when you got approval 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried different websites but would like to ask for your advices for the best one. Is it necessary to purchase $29 to practice the test on AustralianCitizenshipSupport.com? Anyone tried this one yet? As we are not allowed to fail any of the 5 questions about the common bond so I am a bit scared. Thank you Totally unnecessary!

Cairns123456677 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Oh hey guys, I got my citizenship approval on 20th of November 2020 in Cairns city QLD, Although there are many people who are waiting for this way longer than I am, I feel a quite stressful haha. (This is my personal right? :D) This is because I postponed all my money using (buying house, car and more) after the citizenship ceremony. My car has a big trouble and really want to move my place so this time giving me a massive stresses haha. Is there any news (invitation letter) for the people who got their file approved between September to December last year? I found that the ceremony letter is regarding the approval date rather than applying date is it collect? Cheers waiters!

So if you are in the December pack maybe you are next but there is no ceremony for Feb so the earliest for you now is the 18th of March.

David Ng Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 So I attended my Citizenship Interview today. The lady who took my case was very nice and friendly, she told me that she would look through all the documents I have uploaded and if she needed to see any additional documents, she would tell me. She didn't ask for any additional documents except my Medicare card (I have prepared everything in my bag just in case though). She asked me only 1 question, whether or not I have had any offences including traffic offences before, I honestly told her that I had a couple speeding tickets, she asked me whether or not I had to go to court for those, I said no, then all good! My timeline: 23/12/2019: application submitted, Melbourne Southeast surburb Some time in Feb 2020 I received invitation for Citizenship Interview on 27/05/2020, then it was postponed not long after due to the pandemic 28/01/2021: received invitation to a Citizenship Interview on 25/02/2021, rescheduled to 05/02/2021 05/02/2021: Citizenship Interview, all the process was verrry quick! I was inside only 20 minutes , approved on spot (the officer told me that she approved the application after I've got 100% mark on her iPad, it would show up immediately on my ImmiAccount, I've just logged in and had a look, my application was approved) waiting for ceremony invitation, the lady there tole me that I'll probably need to wait up to 6 months for it...

Congratulations on the approval. Could you please tell us how many applicants roughly were there with you. Your overall observation / guess on how many people attending the office each day for test based on how many you saw there in your timeslot ?
