Australian Citizenship Processing time 2014
Hola to all,
Now forgive me for starting yet another thread with the same question. :p I have browsed through a lot of threads to see the latest update on the citizenship processing time, but they all seem to be old. So, here is my deets: Date Applied - 26th December 2013 Test on - 21st January 2014 Approved letter received - 23rd January 2014 Citizenship ceremony - ? Now, I know it hasn't been that long for me, but just wondering how long did it take others. My council area WAS Melbourne CBD, until I moved to a new place at the start of February 2014. Now, it is Bayside City council. I have updated the address with DIAC already to Bayside City council. I don't know how much would the council area affect the processing time - but, if it is faster in the CBD, I can change the council back to it. The reason why I am being so restless is because I hope to travel - go to Brazil for World Cup in July and then live the nomadic life for a year or so. Definitely not a good enough reason for DIAC to sort me out soon. :( Gracias!:starsmile: |

Did you inform DIBP of the move as they assign you to citizenship ceremony. Found this if it's any help - http://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/FORR...eremonies.aspx
As you can see there is a telephone number to call but how helpful it is I've no idea The numbers are no use. The council say they have no say in this. Sigh. |

Both. The email was sent to the wrong email addr,ess, not even close to mine, And the letter got lost in the post. I only found out anything by ringing them and asking whether I was ever likely to hear anything.

That's very unfortunate. I didn't get notified by email, only post. But, I always check the status online anyway.

Re: Australian Citizenship Processing time 2014
in case we did not receive email or mail from DIBP, will online status checking tell us the date of interview and ceremony ? or we should keep calling DIBP to get the status.

How about a little patience - do you know the dates of the ceremonies for your council?
Wondering where all the people you got their citizenship recently are?! |

Wondering where all the people you got their citizenship recently are?! Looked at a few recent approvals, and wait after test seemed to be around 5 months or so |
