Congrats to all who getting the approval letter.
My partner and I also got one two-three weeks ago. Now we are waiting for the ceremony date. Any idea how we can find out the date? Cos I need to plan for my near future travel overseas. We live in Perth WA My local council publishes the dates of upcoming ceremonies on it's website. Maybe check your local council website for those. At least you'll know how often the ceremonies are held. |

I think I just need to wait...wait... and wait. PS: in my case from application online submitted till approval letter only took 1 month more or less. |

Congrats and goodluck. We got our approval letter today - now just have to wait for the ceremony date x
congrats on your approval. I phoned the DIAC help line today and found out that they have assigned me a ceremony on Jul 14th, they did this 2 days ago. They said to call back at the end of next week if I had not received the letter. I know for a fact my council has a ceremony on that date - I checked a few weeks ago. |

Re: Application of Australian Citizenship
Had my test and interview in Melbourne yesterday. Passed the test with a 95% score, got one wrong - they don't tell you which one.
A relatively painless process, was in and out in 30 minutes. Now I await their final decision. |
Re: Application of Australian Citizenship
Dan,
would you plz write what did they ask u in interview? n how long it took from application lodgment to test date? thanks nim |
Re: Application of Australian Citizenship
Interview was bAsically going through a few details on my form. How long have I known the person who countersigned my photo and am I sure I've not been in trouble with the police.
She verified the original documents of those that I submitted with the application (passport, birth certificate, utility bill and driving license) and took fresh copies. She showed my my file on the screen and took a photo of me. I got the impression that if I hadn't struck up conversation, she wouldn't have. I sent my paper application on 2 June I think ,then test was on 24 June so a 3 week lead time there. Between another 2 and 6 weeks to make a decision, then it is up to your local council ceremony schedule. |
