All applicants are subjected to security checks after test. You'll get your approval once your Integrity Screening and Biometrics Match checks are complete. When we did our interview last Jan, yung case officer na naginterview sakin asked for additional documents for my kids (Consent from the biological father of my kids which we no longer have contact). She said that they'll the request via email but we didn't get any email. We got our approval an hour after my interview. So if the department needs more information, they will send you an email asking you to scan and upload the requested document sa immi application mo. Thanks @aanover ! Nakaaffect kaya na nasa regional area ako kaya mas matagal? Thanks again! I don't think so. Testing and Ceremony lang ang affected by applicant's location. If nag pass ka na sa wait time and wala ka pa ding approval, you can submit an FOI to see yung case notes ng application mo. That way you'll know san tumagal.

Some where lucky to prepone their test/interview date as early as next day, so keep on checking as some applicants tend to reschedule last minute. @J_Oz which council are you from? time frame varies depending on council and if DoHA has organised a special ceremony that you can get invited. We got our approval last 7th of Jan, I'm from Ryde council but will be attending DoHA organised ceremony, ceremony email received 19th Feb for 7th of April ceremony at the Sydney Royal Easter Show.

Georges River council. How long did you have to wait to receive ceremony invite? invite came 6 weeks after approval. Pero merong same council sakin, approved last Nov 2019, still waiting for ceremony invite. Difference lang namin, ako may dependent kids included sa application sya wala.

Azriel Hello, Pls direct me to the right group if this question is not relevant in this group. We have applied and granted oir PR 4 years ago. In the application, i wrote my name the same as what it is written in my passport (surname, first name, middle name or panggitnang apilyedo). When we arrived in Australia i learned that middle name here refered as the second name. So my maiden name became my second name here in Aussie. In few months we are going to apply for citizenship and i am unsure as to how to revise or correct my name without paying or going to any court for amendment. Pls help! Thank u.
