Re: Citizenship and time from applying
We applied January 2007, and got a ceremony June 2007.
I think it depends on where you are, many people seem to have had shorter waits than ours.

Re: Citizenship and time from applying
I was hoping we'd apply on June 1st, then get our letter by the end of August and attend the ceremony by the end of November. So about 6 months in total. I don't really care what day the ceremony is, I just want the first date available.

The 2 day application result is great though! I assume you applied online?

Brisbane doesn't have that many ceremonies I think so there can be a long wait. I know you're in Capalaba but are you in the Brisbane part or the former Redlandshire part (not sure what you call it now?), they might have a different schedule.

No, lodged documents there and then in the office having passed the test. Easiest way to do it I think.....very little form filling involved.
