Hi Can peeps give me an average time for citizenship application processing times for people who have lodged their applications in sydney, Thanks.

You probably won't get anything specific, but the usual experience is somewhere between 3 and 9 months.

Sydney has many council areas and some are better at doing citizenship ceremonies than others.

Have you done the test yet?

no i want the time from the application being submitted to the time people recieve their letter of approval, thanks anyway

Ours took just under 1 month...

thanks but i want info for applications submitted in sydney not brisbane-shire

Fair enough....

bumped thread again anyone got any more info on this subject

If your desperate, which it sounds like you are, then just call DIAC in Sydney

Tel: 131 880

Better yet pop in and see them

Not desperate just interested thats all

The area you live in has no bearing on the time taken from application to approval letter. It's not a council issue, it's a DIAC issue so it could be anything from a week to six months probably depending on how many other people have applied at the same sort of time. The councils come into play when DIAC inform them that you have been approved and for them to invite you to a ceremony.
