I'm in bayside council so not sure if it's same procedure but will give it a whirl when my time comes. No worries at all! This forum has been very informative and in return I am happy to share what worked out for me. I found that it also helped to come prepared with your questions because the interview is an opportunity to ask queries directly to your case officer. You may have questions unique to your circumstance for which the case officer may or may not have answers to. But yes, definitely worth asking. One more detail here, in the email I sent to virtual.ceremony.nsw, I attached the email from my recruiter showing the pending job application with the government department. All the best to everyone's application! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a name check only - I believe. If your name is unique, it must be quick. What's your name ? Michael , John, William, etc Share your profile and travel history , so we can comment.

Han21 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 After approved yor applications normally how long should be take to send approval letter. Is that any particular day in week they print or send letter to you mail box. Somebody after approved they got letter within 5 days. Some bodies got after couple of weeks. Actually very hard to assume what happening. However everyone hope for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contacted them today, it’s says that needs to wait, different applications is different case. They’re cannot answer it exactly. Lucky the others that get approval in the same day after the test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
