For a example for identity docs, attached passport and evidence of address, attached driving licence but driving licence is also an identity docs. Have you all.done the same way??? Well, yes the entire process goes the same; however, sometimes it might changes, depending upon the demand of the situation. So, don’t worry! Be positive and trust the timing of the process!

Sulaiman Dirk Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Hi All, I wish all of you the best of luck with your Citizenship applications. Just thought I'd share my timeline. Citizenship Application: 25/07/2020 Test Invitation: 04/11/2020 Test Date: 09/11/2020 Approval: 09/11/2020 Ceremony: TBC Council: City of Adelaide, SA Applicant: Single, no dependants I had a brief chat with the Home Affairs official as well. He said that in Adelaide they have test appointments available on a Saturday on a short term basis due to the coronavirus backlog. If i knew I could've saved an annual leave day lol. I'm not sure if this is the case in other states as well. The Adelaide office is also helping with the processing of Victorian applications at the moment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ceremony was on the Sunshine Coast and low key in comparison to our children’s ceremonies which were pre covid, but not as bad as I was expecting. We were welcomed as new citizens, and I felt quite emotional to finally become Australian. We went out to lunch afterwards, and another couple from the ceremony were also there. So we took each other’s photos against the perfect background of the river and sea. We were very touched when a fair few other diners congratulated us and welcomed us as new Australians.such a lovely gesture. Good luck to everyone still waiting, Hope it won’t be too long. X a brand new Australian !! Congratulations mate. I´m also on the Sunny Coast however haven´t been invited for the ceremony yet - my wife and I passed the test on the 26/10/2020 but our status remain as"Further Assessment". I have no idea how long it may take for them to approve our application. Does anyone know how long it usually takes? I can see here and in other forums that most cases are approved within a day.

We applied late May 1 year after gaining PR, but didn’t take the test as we are geriatric!! I think it took 8/10 weeks to get the acceptance letter, then similar time to the ceremony. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean007 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Hi all, I had the citizenship test on 29th Sept and got approved and waiting for the ceremony. During the interview the visa officer mentioned I can take part in a virtual ceremony and I said am happy to do that. Still no news on ceremony, has anyone had similar experience or being invited for a ceremony ? I applied from NSW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume that means all of them in NSW and not just my particular council... Maybe they are saving us up for the big Australia Day celebration 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToowoombaBlue Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Did anyone find the test daunting? As with everyone else, my wife and I have done the practice tests a hundred times over. Still the fear of the unknown I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
