AUSTRALIAN CITIZENSHIP TIMELINE

Cassey

@cyborg5 Yes, more than a year. How about you? There are some lucky few in the forum who didn’t have to wait for a year. I guess it depends on the state/ council as well.

Di pa ako qualified @Cassey medyu matagal tagal pang pag hihintay

Ask ko lang po kung thru immi account lang po ba sila nagnonotify ng approval ng result ng test? o mageemail pa po sila? tapos sabi saakin mag mail sila ng letter? di ko natandaan yung sinabi, tulala mode.

Cassey

@RPhwithOZdream Sa immi account, it’ll just changed from Received to Approved. Then you’ll receive a letter afterwards. May instances though na yung applicant hindi nakakareceive ng approval letter.

RPhwithOZdream

alam nyo po ba kung gaano katagal ang waiting time para sa approval letter at oath?

Cassey

@RPhwithOZdream It varies. Some get their approval the same day as their interview and test, some after few mos and there are others who wait for a year or 2.

With the ceremony, it all depends on your council - how many are currently waiting and how often they do ceremonies.

You can count from initial entry pero dapat yong gap between initial entry and bigmove including vacations will not sum-up to 12 months.

ChidoRodgers

@fgs thank you! Cinonfirm ko lang kasi ang layo ng gap ng initial entry ko at big move although di naman lumampas ng 12 months kasama mga bakasyon thanks ulit

Good day!

I haven't read the whole thread but I'm just wondering if may nagapply po dito for citizenship but decided to travel outside Australia while waiting for the Citizenship Test?

Thank You!

Cassey

@koalu It should be fine because they usually email the applicant for the test.

ChidoRodgers

@Cassey do you have to inform the dept about it though?

Cassey

@ChidoRodgers We traveled before the test but did not inform them. During the interview, they knew about it so I guess it boils down to the individual’s preference. But if you want to strictly follow what they say on the website then you can just inform the Department. I think informing them is crucial during the approval/ceremony invitation part rather than the pretest.

@koalu ako po. Applied for citizenship 17 May 2018.. tapos intended vacation for 2 weeks during Christmas-New Year season pero my mom needed emergency surgery and ended up staying sa pinas until Mid April. Nareceive ko nga yung exam invitation letter ko nasa Pinas ako e, bumalik ako dito sa Sydney to take the exam then after 2 days lipad ulit pa Pinas. Bago ko makabalik ng Sydney dumating na din yung approval letter ko.

Tips for those who are still waiting for their citizenship interview and exam. Some CO maybe too meticulous especially for applicants with second names so bring all identification cards and proof of address with your EXACT name as the one in your application (even if it's not the one you submitted). If you have dependents in your application, make sure to bring their photos as well (the one you submitted together in your application). And lastly, to help you prepare for your exam, make sure to read "Our Common Bond" (watching it is not enough) and download the Australian Citizenship Tests app for IOS (I'm sure there's an android counterpart for this). The Mock Test is really helpful. Good luck!

Hello Sa lahat,

I just want to check your opinions, though masyado pa maaga to think about citizenship 🙂)

We were granted a PR visa last March 4, 2019. We did our initial entry last April 19-27, 2019. We are planning to officially move to AU by next year around July 27, 2020. ( 1 year and 3 months gap from IE to BM)

Ibig sabihin ba neto eh we can only apply for citizenship by July, 2024 kasi mareset na ulit kasi lumagpas ng 1 year ung pa move namin? or Mag add lng kmi ng 3 more months para punan ung kulang at pwede na magapply by October 2023?

Thank you po sa sasagot 🙂

🙂)
