And I haven’t heard anything yet. Problem is my wife’s overseas passport is expiring January next year. Does she need to have valid passport to attend the test and interview? Or ceremony? thanks guys. She can bring her Australian driver's license, plus any other ID, doesn't matter if it has been expired. I was told this when calling at their customer service line.

mikesmyth Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Applied in May 2021 (Melbourne - Whittlesea). Included my son's application as well (born last year). Still showing as "Received". Have moved to Wyndham Vale since, wondering if it would affect timing for processing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allocated to their queue, it may be longer or shorter the waiting time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabetrotter1 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Hi guys! I have lodged my citizenship application on 30/07/2021, and since then, DHA hasn't sent my test schedule yet. I have a pre-booked trip in June next year with my PR visa expiring soon. What do you guys think would be the best course of action for my situation? Should I apply for RRV or reach out to DHA to fast track my application with supporting documents proving my trip has already been booked. Would appreciate a response. By the way, I'm from Melbourne.
