I hope ma-receive nyo na soon, in due time yung much awaited notification, be it test/interview invitation, approval and ceremony invite.
In my case, very helpful na may schedule na ko for oath taking due to work. Finishing na yung current work contract ko and I need to find my next job. May pending application ako sa federal government and ang icoconsider lang nilang security cleared applicants ay Australian citizens.
I sent email twice to [email protected]. First, I stated the same reason as above regarding work application. Second, just plain email saying I would like to be considered for a virtual ceremony. Also, wala pang schedule ang Georges River Council for in-person ceremonies. So there you go, thankful na nakareceive ako ng favourable response from the Department.
Again, all the best sa ating lahat!

@carl6 - thank you!
Nag-email ka din ba sa virtual.ceremony.nsw?
If hindi pa mageend yung contract ko sa work, willing to wait ako for an in-person ceremony. Main reason kaya nagpa-consider ako for a virtual ceremony is para maging eligible applicant for government jobs. Thankfully naging mabilis nga yung pagbigay nila ng oath taking schedule.
Hoping ma-receive nyo na din ang ceremony date soon!

Kmusta po mga kabayan. Quick question re. Citizenship application.
Nag submit po ba kayo ng NBI clearance?
Planning to lodge my application by 31 March 2021 pero di ko sure if need ko ba mag attach ng NBI clearnce. Got my PR in Sept 2015 and permanently moced here in Au in March 2017.
Thanks and keep safe everyone. Cheers!

in my opinion, possibly yes, since more than 12mons ka outside au from date of visa approval.. so you may need to provide police certs from all countries you have stayed more than 90 days between sept 2015 and march 2017.

For sure hihingan ka ng PCC in any country you've lived in for 12months or more...
Ako nga 11months lang sa Thailand nag-stay.. hiningan pa din ng Thai PCC... during my Citizenship Test ko pa nalaman.
Lodge mo na application mo asap, then to follow mo na lang i-attach yung NBI pag nakuha mo na
