Got my test invite! It does seem that for Sydney, the Parramatta office is about a month ahead of the CBD:

Application date: 1st September 2021

Received test invite letter: 17 March 2021

Test day: 18 March 2021 at Sydney CBD office

I went online to reschedule right away and there was plenty of spots coming up, so I was able to reschedule it for tomorrow. Hopefully it all goes smoothly!

 

Also, what documents did most people bring to the test?

Just an update:

Passed my test, was in and out in 15 minutes and got my approval letter less than 10 minutes after leaving. Now just the wait for the invitation to a ceremony

And if this helps anyone, they checked these documents just for approval: Birth certificate, Australian license and passport. And the test was super easy, but it did help that I read the testable section of the PDF, and it took me 5 minutes to take the test

Application date: 30th June 2021 from Melbourne. 

Status on Immi is still showing as Received. It's been 9 months now. Anyone else on the same boat as me?

Too many people including myself are in the same boat as you. Someone who applied in Jan 2021, he only got the invite few days back for the test in late April 2022. So, slow and steady, we are getting there.

That's good to know. Sounds like there's still a bit of a wait for us who applied in June then...

Update with my timeline to date. Long wait so far but hopefully things are moving quicker now

Region: Melbourne, VIC

Number of applicants: 1

Citizenship application: Oct 2020

Appointment letter received: Jan 2022 (15 months from application)

 Test: 7 Mar 2022 (16.5 months from application), and passed

Application approval: 10 Mar 2022 (3 days after the test)

Ceremony date: will be on 11 Apr 2022 (1 month from approval, c.17.5 months from application). Ceremony in Manningham (VIC) council

Updated ceremony invitation. Guys this is surprisingly fast as I thought it would be another 6-8 months wait for the ceremony so I hope this is a good sign for all the people waiting in VIC

Many congratulations. It's an exciting news. Hope they keep up the pace. To my surprise, they took care of about 18,000 citizenship applications last month (overall - by conferral). So happy that things are slowly speeding up.

Thanks. Good luck to you with the process too. I will probably give another update on how the process of applying for a passport is

thanks... nope, did nothing of that sort.. just gave my test and interview and within 30 mins we got our approval...

the ceremony took 5 months to happen though and we were annoyed a bit.. but all well that ends well...

 

don't worry - hang in there - I am sure its just around the corner 🙂
