sud Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Hi fellas i contact to immi. I asked whether Townsville council is doing any virtual citizenship ceremony or not? The guy on other side just read media release that’s it. He didn’t say yes or no, he just go through media release statements even i asked second time. I asked him another question Covid-19 restriction are easing, there any possibilities of announcement of face to face citizenship ceremony after month or couples of months, this time also he just go through the media release statements. Even he feel that I didn’t get relevant answers he didn’t say more than media release statement. I talk to Townsville Council, they don’t know about virtual citizenship ceremony and the staff told possibly get news about citizenship ceremony on Wednesday/Thursday but it’s not. Guys anyone know anything when they restart or do face to face citizenship ceremony coz the government 3 months restriction easing plan is already out. Up to now i heard the news of virtual citizenship ceremony of only big cities I didn’t heard story of regional Australia.

So best bet would be to email requesting a virtual ceremony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA Take Care Be Safe Hi mate, First of all your statement of not doing any ceremonies of regional areas in wrong because ceremonies are going on but no of candidates is very less in regional areas. Especially in this or any forums, you will see most members are from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane. Hence, people feel dept is just doing their ceremony. My brother lives in regional WA. He is based in a mining town called Karatha as he is petroleum mining engineer. His applied in Feb 2019. He got test appointment in Sept 2019 for Nov 6th 2019. He gave the test and got approved. He got virtual ceremony EOI from QLD regional on May first week. He replied yes and it took 2 weeks for them to send a date. He gave his ceremony on Friday 15th May and did it in 5 mins. He understood that QLD regional us taking care of WA regional also. I don't know why. City councils have nothing to do with virtual ceremonies. Instead they are happy they don't have to. It was just their duty to entertain people in ceremonies for dept. I am aware of some city councils like city of Melbourne who did ceremonies but they did some trials and no one thsn heard anything from them. Looks like because the Mayor has to do it and the Mayor will be having more important jobs to do at the moment , they must have backed off. I asked my friends in city of Melbourne and they said they got ceremony done straight from dept VIC office. If your approval is Oct or Nov 2019, you may get ceremony this month or else you will have to wait. If you contact these people, they will just tell you or write back to you with the same stuff you see on dept website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mate I think you didn’t read the media release statement whole/completely coz there it’s written clearly per day 750 applicants can do virtual citizenship ceremony. You have one example what about others. Even it is true that your brother got ceremony how could you so sure about regional QLD take your brother virtual ceremony. In mailing address it was from Cairns or what, otherwise I believe it is from department or QLD. I don’t heard about Regional QLD mailing address if you so sure can you kindly provide me the mailing address plz. One more question on you, there are department in each state and territory, if it is about main department, I don’t have questions but you said Regional QLD. For your kind information, i want to clear in this, i did question while my test, the lady clearly told me that they got our information from main department for test but they send results to Brisbane department not even main department as she was staff of QLD not from main department. And if we want to move another state our records goes to main and main to our nominate another state. Then how did your brother got from Regional QLD neither from Brisbane department nor from Main department. If it is so true give your brother story to 7 news Brisbane, you got a money and your brother got fame. Anyway, thanks for your time and info. Take care bro.

I got a automated message when I put my newborns detail in the application that he might be meet the residency requirement what should I do, should I still put his details on the file as the application is requesting my newborns details to be uploaded.
