Thank you Bondi797, is the option available after submitting the application? When you say online app, I suppose you are referring to the immiAccount, am I correct?
@Aayush I’m not sure if you can edit it. But yes it was on the immi account application under family and spouse related to the applicant.
there is a drop down box where you can click deceased.

@Aayush sorry to hear hear about your loss. My condolences.
there is a drop-down box in the online app that has “deceased” as an option.
so when you inform them, I’m sure they will just update your file.
all the best.

Hi there,
Is there still a spreadsheet kept of people's timelines? I seem to remember there was a google doc, or maybe that was just for PR?
I'm trying to get a good idea of waiting time from test to ceremony in NSW right now. I understand it's between 3-6 months but would love to hear from others.
Thanks!
@Mmmbop I got approved December 18, so I’m approaching 5 months waiting for ceremony invite in NSW Waverley Council.

@Bondi797Very similar to me then :D. The wait is REAL !!! Do you happen to know if you would receive an email or a postal letter?
@novo007 I’ve heard some people receive it on email and reflecting as correspondence on immi account. I wouldn’t think they would post because this could get lost or delayed. Waiting time is 5-7 months from approval, so I’m approaching 5. Just got to wait I guess.

@dmak I’m also from Ku-ring-gai council. Approved in Dec 2020 and still waiting for a ceremony. I’m keen in knowing whether your friend got the invitation from department or council or both? If so by email or post? Checking post and email almost daily now. Thanks in advance.
@novo007 I had my application approved same day as test mid December and also still waiting for ceremony invite and I’m also in NSW - Waverley Council.

Anyone had a virtual or face to face ceremony in NSW, Waverley, Woolarah, City council? Or anyone still waiting for ceremonies from December/January approvals in these areas?
thanks
-
Any updates on Waverley Council ceremonies? Can’t find anything online. For people approved January onwards.
Thanks

Anyone knows how long it takes for the virtual invitation/ceremony from approval?

Correct.
Hi Randall.
Tbh I don’t think contacting them will make any difference as waiting time for decision is currently 14-16 months. And 5 - 7 months for ceremony. This was updated online yesterday.
if you are out of the country during any of the steps they will not proceed with your application until you are back on Australian soil.

Hello there,
I am a silent follower of this forum. Sharing my timeline:
Date of application : 10/03/20
Date of Test : 10/03/21
Status : Received
No news after test. My question is, when you got approval, does it notifies us in email? Or we have to check our immi account on regular basis?
Thank you
I didn’t receive an email or notification. Immi just changed from received to approved. Then got an approval letter in the post a couple days later.
so keep checking, hopefully it updates soon.

Yes that's correct, you don't need compelling reasons for virtual ceremony especially in NSW. If you are interested send an email to the following address with you approval letter or screenshot of your immiaccount
virtual.ceremony@homeaffairs.gov.au
virtual.citz.ceremony@homeaffairs.gov.au
ceremony.act@homeaffairs.gov.au
virtual.ceremony.act@homeaffairs.gov.auThanks mate!

I am not sure about ceremony at council premises,But lot of people from Sydney managed to get virtual ceremony. If you don't mind virtual ceremony, you can email the virtual ceremony department.Friend of mine got approved on Dec 11th, sent an email for virtual ceremony and they replied back with Dec 23rd for virtual ceremony
That’s interesting, so your friend just requested a virtual ceremony and they offered that to him 2 days later? Or did he/she have some sort of compelling reasons to do it online?

Anyone received a ceremony invite recently and what dates are they having their ceremony? Sydney, Woolarah Council and surroundings.
