Citizenship time-lines ?
Hiya,
I am looking for citizenship timelines.
I went on citizenship.gov.au website; it says the interview process (after application) may take 90 days and then the ceremony (which I make a judgement another 2 months.
It means it takes another 5 months + 1 month for application to get passport.
I have a planned trip for 3 months between all these things. It means that I will have to wait for another yr., NOT HAPPY.
Can people tell us their time lines in Melbourne and which is the best area to process the things faster?
goodluck to all who have interview lined-up

Re: Citizenship time-lines ?
No one told me you see - so I just happened to apply before I left as I always wanted the Oz passport - and didn't think anything more until i returned and they asked me if I was a citizen 'yes' I replied. I was asked to produce my Oz passport and I explained that it was at home.....'follow this gentleman please' I was told.
Luckily it only took a couple of minutes to sort out - and now I know - but I don't think it is a widely known point regarding this issue, do you?

Why can't you travel on your existing passport?
