Anyone got any experience of how long the approval letter takes?
If you look at the dates above, mine was 11 days with 3 public holidays in the middle. So only 5 or 6 working days if the checks go through without problems. Some take longer. So it's a case of how long is a piece of string.

It does seem to be taking its time, but the fact your daughter received her letter shows signs that things are moving. I received my approval letter last week. Now just got to wait for goodness knows how long for a ceremony. It's already frustrating me and it has only been a week.

Daunted, if you still haven't heard you might want to ring the citizenship phone line. They sent my OH his letter with his test appointment but I didn't get mine. When OH turned up at his interview and test, they asked where I was Turned out I had an appointment at the same time as him but they sent the letter to our old address ( which they obviously had from when we applied for PR) even though I had put our current address on the application. The nice DIAC lady who saw my OH called me to re-arrange a time for my interview and it all went swimmingly from there, albeit with a delay of a few days. I did like you and waited, thinking the letter would come eventually...

They do various checks before they send the letter out - AFP checks etc - probably just waiting for the police check to come back or something. If your daughter's came back first then her letter would go out first

I think daunted is waiting for an invitation letter to attend the citizenship test after applying in March.

Or maybe it's as Polly says... I never checked online for the status on my application so I can't say whether it showed there
We didn't have to do any police checks though, did you?

The Aussie police check are done after the Test, hence the delay between the test and approval - Daunted hasn't got as far as the test yet.

The status online goes something like

You apply

Status confirms you have applied and that the money has been taken and also says something about further processing.

You get a letter inviting you to the test

You attend and pass the test

Status is updated to the test date and says further processing (ie. Aussie Police checks)

Status then changes to Approved - await letter from Dept

Letter arrives telling you to wait for ceremony

We got our approval letter about 5 days after I did the test. I don't think they did any police checks, or did they without telling us? we then received the letter with a date for the ceremony about 3 weeks after the approval letter.
