HG1987 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Hi! I have been awaiting the invitation for my ceremony for some months already, however I am about to move to a new area within a different Council. I was wondering whether this will delay my invitation any further? I.e. will I start at the end of the queue for my new Council or miss a few invites? Does anyone have any experience with this? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeBee Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I knew someone who moved from Sydney to Perth, after being on the ceremony wait list for several months. After updating their details, their citizenship ceremony invite in Perth came through within days. Perth had shorter wait times. This was a couple of years ago. have a look on the DOHA website. I notice the have a snapshot of wait times per council as of jan 23. Look up your current and new councils for a rough idea https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/citizenship/citizenship-processing-times/ceremony-wait-times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HG1987 Posted March 16, 2023 Author Share Posted March 16, 2023 thanks! Both councils have a similar wait time, 3-6 months. I'd hope that my current wait time (5 months already) counts as 'time served' for the new council and I do not have to start over. Perth has a really short wait time so I'm not sure that was the case... also I think during COVID online ceremonies were conducted pretty fast? Not a big issue anyway, just want to be done with the process! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ding Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 May I ask how can I update the address after application got approval? Do I need to provide proof of address? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HG1987 Posted March 24, 2023 Author Share Posted March 24, 2023 hi, I see that you can update your address on ImmiAccount while you wait for Ceremony - there is an 'update details' section and apparently it does not request proof of address. However I don't think you need to if you have already had your ceremony? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
