We don't have information about waiting people after 28th Jan 2022. Total number of ceremonies conducted on 10th April 2022 was 540. I think roughly around 1000 people are in waiting state as on today(11th April 2022). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSY Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Hi Would like to have some understanding 1. If yet to receive test invitation but due to some urgency, need to fly out of Australia, can we fly out? 2. If we got the approval but still waiting for the ceremony, are we able to fly out of Australia for a short holiday about a month plus?

However, you are supposed to notify DHA of your travel dates and you won't receive a test invite while you are overseas. If you are planning to be away for a short period of time I would not tell them. I missed my turn in the queue because I did and they didn't send me an invite until 3 weeks after I got back. 2. You can definitely fly out after being approved. If you receive a ceremony invite and you can't attend you can contact your Council or DHA to postpone the date if necessary. You just need to make sure that you attend a ceremony within a year of approval or it can be cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesscoop82 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Hi everyone seeking expert opinion on the following concern: while citizenship application my son was under 16 years of age and now we have received test invite and he is over 16 years of age. Do I need to inform DHA regarding this or is it obvious, no exam or obligation on his part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, SSY said: Hi is police check one of the documentation to submit? I do not recall having to do so during the application It depends upon whether or not you've been overseas. If you have been since you got your PR and spent more that a certain time in one country (I forget how long) you'll have been asked for an overseas police check from that country as part of the application. I needed a UK police check as I lived in the UK for another 3 years after getting PR. You don't need to submit an Australian police check. They run those for all applicants automatically.

I will assume the total time they meant is for a single trip and not a few trips over a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yameen Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Hi All, I have citizenship test after two weeks in Melbourne. Can any body guide on which documents do they check prior to letting you sit for the test? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks It depends on the officer but in general they ask for your passport, drivers licence and birth certificate. Some ask for your Medicare card and a recent bill to check your address. You should take with you all the documents you uploaded with your application because they can ask for any of them (Identity form, police certificate, etc.).

Your friends or Family? anyone you know of have recently got invited for ceremony in July? Kinley share details please Thanks If its Hume City Council, according to the information available on Immi tracker, someone who applied in March 2020, took the test in March 2021 and got approved in April 2021. They attended online ceremony in October 2021 (6 months after the approval) - 19 months from submission to ceremony. backlog backlog and lots of backlog - no idea when things will go back to real-normal. To the best of my knowledge, the department and all the councils are working to their full capacity. As far as I know you should hear about the ceremony at least 1 month in advance. Find attached the upcoming ceremonies in this area (you might already have this information) - don't know if the above information applies to you but things have geared up since then: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
