Hubby's application was submitted on Oct 31 2021 and approved on April 22nd from ACT. Still hasn't received ceremony invitation yet. Does anyone know what is the waiting time for ACT from approved to ceremony?

Just an update, at the end of July he received ceremony invitation on Aug 9th. ACT has monthly ceremony, and finally he would attend the one organized in Aug.

Hi

I applied for citizenship from VIC sep 20th 2021. I noticed many applicants from those dates are receiving invitations these days.I have been overseas the last 3 months and I will be back to Australia in 20 days. I have also notified the department on my immiaccount the exact date of my return. My question is, can applicants receive invitations for interviews while they are overseas? Is there a chance I will receive the invititation now that I have informed my return date or do they wait for me to return? Once I return will I most likely receive an invitation quickly as most other applicants from sep 2021 have already been invited or was my application on hold during the time I was overseas and I need to wait longer?

I would appreciate your help and input :)

My partner and i passed our citizenship test today. She received a confirmation of pass email about an hour after the test, however I have not yet. Does anybody know how long it might take to receive this email? Thanks.

It was as similar with us as well, & my husband received almost after 20 days from his test date. So don’t worry it will arrive soon 

 

good luck

Stonnington have listed two more for this year -

  • Tuesday 20 September 2022
  • Wednesday 12 October 2022
  • Wednesday 16 November 2022

I am hoping I can get into one this year to keep me within the 2 year wait period.

As at 27 May 2022, it appears that 329 people (https://www.pomsinoz.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=29877) were waiting for ceremony at Stonnington. 

In July 2022 there was a ceremony with probably 100 people or more.

So  the remaining 229 people remaining should potentially be invited at the September or October ceremony.

Finally received the ceremony invitation today. Out of all the stages, the approval was nerve-testing as it took 21 days after the test and waiting for the ceremony was the real wait-game. After the approval it was becoming quite painful and frustrating as no one from the department or the council helped. 

From application to ceremony, exactly 18 months. 

All the best to all those who are waiting. Sit tight, do not lose hope, your day is not too far.

And this marks the END OF VIC-WAIT-GAME... I am going home

Both myself and my wife applications got approved on 28th March 2022 . Today, I received a ceremony invitation for 17th Sept 2022(Wyndham City Council), but my wife hasn't received ceremony invitation yet. Both the applications are linked at the time of test/interview. Does anyone faced this situation. Suggestions are welcome.

Could just be the post. Give it a few days then ring the council.

If you are the primary applicant and you have your email then you will receive one invite which covers everyone , your invite should say something to indicate that this invite is extended to your family as well , I have not receive any invite but I am saying this because this is what happen to one of my friend
