Abro Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 @Danny842003 Congratulations! Danny. I submitted my application last year December. Still, waiting. Happy to know Parramatta is inviting for tests. Have you mentioned Parramatta for a test interview in your application? I mentioned the Sydney City center.

Yes as far as I know if you mentioned the city you will have to wait until they’re up and running. I imagine Para are running at a lower capacity so they won’t want to take on work from another centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abro Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 @Danny842003 You are right. The good news is the Sydney city office also started work from last week. Let's see how they will proceed. So far no one seen yet be invited for test at Sydney office. Hoping for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessa Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Hello everyone, am new here and would like to ask a couple of questions from you lovely people. I am due to apply for my citizenship very soon in october 2020. I would like some advise as i had used an agent before for my PR and i really dont want to use as the charges are too high, so i want to try this one by myself. Am wondering if i should create a new immi account for my citizenship as i dont have an account since my agent did everything for me. Any other advise on how i can go about with the application will be highly appreciate. Thanks Nessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therealforbes Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Hi Guys, my family and i have applied for citizenship last january 2020. checking my attachments, i have found that there are 2 'Recommended' files, 1. Overseas adoption, Evidence of 2. Legal parents of children born through a surrogacy arrangement, Evidence of i have called immi office and after 15 minutes, they told me not to worry about it since it doesnt apply to me. have you guys have this experience? Im worried that this will cause delays for our application. Or theres something in our application that i have filled wrong. I have my son on my application and my other son is already an australian citizen. your response will be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisher1 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Hi all I’ve just used the calculator to find out when I’ll be elligible to apply for citizenship. It seems I can apply earlier than I thought. My PR visa was granted in April 2016. My “Arrival” date was a week later, when I returned from a holiday in NewZealand. I then returned to the UK for sixteen months, making the permanent move in August 2017. I spent two months in the UK last year, otherwise have been here in Oz the whole time since August 2017. The calculator tells me I can apply in October 2020. I’m assuming this means I’ve been considered resident in Australia since April 2016, but absent for a chunk of time. Can anyone tell me if this is correct? I’d be well chuffed with the earlier date. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abro Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 @Therealforbes Yeah I have experienced the same. You shouldn't need to worry about it. Delay is because of the closure of the citizenship test interview I guess. I applied last year in December and still no response. From which state did you apply? Only WA is processing applications very fast and inviting applicants for tests and interviews. Sydney Parramatta offices start work as well for a couple of last weeks. Let's see how it goes.

Ronansmyth Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Doesn't seem like 5 years ago when i applied for a partner visa, but citizenship application submitted online on 23rd Aug 2020. Looks like i will have quite the wait. Sydney for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
