Check your immi account for application status after a week or so and it should be updated to approved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iman Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Hi everyone I applied for citizenship sep 2021. I was overseas the past 4 months and came back to Australia a couple of days ago. I also calked the department two days ago and informed them that I am back. I notice many Victorians who applied Nov 2021 are receiving invites so its definitely past our turn. No news from the department yet. Does this mean I have lost my spot in the queue? Most of those who applied the same time as me received their invites 2 months ago. Does this mean that I have been pushed back in the line for four months? Or would I still be treated as someone who applied in Sep 2021? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks No, I left Australia countless times between application and test, and again between test and ceremony date (ceremony date was received while I was overseas, so it doesn’t even appear to put anything on hold). I’m also outside of Australia again now, 7 days after the ceremony (left on day 6), so we’ll see how returning goes, but my RRV still shows as active in VEVO, so I assume it’ll be fine. My passport application’s been lodged, as I’ve got a lot of overseas travel planned coming up, and eventually I’ll start getting issues using my other passports I expect.

Dont fret I hear some are approved the same day Some might even take up to 2 months. But the longer wait time does not also mean something is not right. Its normal. You just need to be patient and wait Edited September 26, 2022 by Iman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mansbrofessor Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Hi All, Update on my Citizenship Timeline: @Manningham City Council - Melbourne Application Date: 24 Jan 2022 Interview/Test Invite Received: 04 October 2022 Interview/Test Date: 27 October 2022 Approval Date: TBC Ceremony invite received: TBC Ceremony Date: TBC I am honestly very surprised at the amount of time it took to receive the invite. Based on the responses I've been reading on these forums it seems to take anywhere between 12-15 months from application to test invite. It seems like the DHA is really starting to clear it's backlog and speed up the citizenship application process in Victoria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
