annagilda Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Does anyone know how long it takes from the ceremony date, to actually being classed as a citizen by immigration? .I became an Australian on the 26th of last month, but my immi account is still showing as approved and hasn't changed to finalised. My VEVO still says resident too. I would like to apply for my passport ASAP as I'm due to travel back for a visit to Ireland next month, but the passport office still can't verify my citizenship certificate as it looks like it hasn't been added to the system yet. Anyone got any timeframe ideas? Thanks a million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIG85 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) Often the online status is changed almost immediately after the ceremony I.e. within 30 mins. It is somewhat odd that is not the case for you. However, regardless of what Immi website says, you are regarded as a citizen as soon as you take the oath.
