EurotoAus Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Hi guys, Doing app soon. Noticed you can choose your test centre? Thought be better to choose one with lesser wait period? Read different opinions, but this forum appears sensible place to ask! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee! Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 16 hours ago, Gee! said: 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
