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. Yes I was worried about it - but I always worry about any test or exam situation! Just keep reading 'Our Common Bond' and do ALL the practice test you can find on the internet You will be fine on the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynkim Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) I and my husband received the invitation letter today. It happened so faster than we expected! We've been worried so much as we are on 187 visa since 3/9/2019 and I am not with my employer anymore. They closed the business the end of March (only worked for them 6month after 187 visa approved) I tried to reschedule our test date online but it turned out we couldn't. I think because of covid-19 situation. So we are going to do our test the day they asked for. Citizenship applied 11/09/2020 Invitation letter received 13/11/2020 Test and interview date 19/12/2020 Ceremony hopefully soon!

During the interview the visa officer mentioned I can take part in a virtual ceremony and I said am happy to do that.

123stella Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Applied for citizenship: 15 October 2020 Council: Cairns Invitation letter for test received on: 11 November 2020 Test Appointment : 4 December 2020 Rescheduled: 17 November 2020 17 November 2020: test PASSED, application APPROVED shortly after. My partner has applied on the same day, but he still didn't received a test date. It might be because he has criminal records (15 years ago in Italy).

coquette Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 My husband called DOHA today asking them why him and our young son only received the ceremony invitation while myself and our older son have not yet, they linked the applications together (though they were supposed to be linked as per what we have stated in the applications) but no guarantee we can do the ceremony together. So bummed:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
