Atlas Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Hi all, are tests on hold at the moment in VIC due to lockdown? Just trying to gauge how long we have to wait until we hear something after submitting our applications. Applied in Feb 2021 so I was expecting to not hear anything until Feb 2022. Thanks!

Slav Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Does anyone know how long it takes to update the Immi account after the Citizenship Ceremony in Person? It has been already couple of days and the status still shows "Approved". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SydLad Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 @Slav I think took around 10days, but mine took 4days updated in my ImmiAccount. I had Virtual ceremony instead. Now only waiting for my citizenship certificate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it stay active indefinitely or does it get shut down fairly quickly? I don't know about indefinitely but mine is still open more than 5 years after getting citizenship (but I have used the account since to apply for visitor visas for relatives which may be what has extended it). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melb User Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I had my Virtual Ceremony today and am now Australian Citizen:), it's been a long 21 month wait. I'm part of Melbourne City Council. Timeline: Citizenship Application: 07 Jan 2020 Test Date & Approval: 05 Feb 2021 (Original test date was in March 2021 & I preponed it) InPerson Ceremony Invite 1: 18 Aug 2021, Cancelled due to lockdown InPerson Ceremony Invite 2: 15 Sep 2021, Cancelled due to lockdown Virtual Ceremony: 28 Sep 2021 On my Virtual ceremony, it was not a group event, just the presiding officer and myself. My Citizenship processing times coincided with 75% of applicants processing times mentioned in Immigration Website. This can keep changing and you can check immigration website for latest. Further your council can influence the ceremony date as well. Good luck everyone! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
