    Same here, Nov 2013! Still waiting for few days. Any idea what’s the usual timeline after we lodge our application for citizenship?

    @Yeliboy im not a professional but with applicants stuck from April applications and with the influx of current applications, I would expect it's going to be a long wait. I'm just hoping that we will be citizens by next year's Australia Day. Fingers crossed. <3

    Applications lodged from April 20 onwards has been temporarily placed on hold so, there is a 6 months deadline...

    Having said that, based on my experience of that and my wife, four months wait sa amin without the backlog experienced ngayon... Oath on Oz day might be a long shot but we will never know...

    Congratulations !! :)

    Question po ulit...may question sa Aus Citizenship online app na "Since the age of 18, has the applicant lived or travelled outside of Australia?" naconfuse ako:( ito ba pag nagrant na ang PR at nagtravel ka outside OZ or nung hindi pa PR na mga travel dates? So nilalagay ko na ung travel dates eh nagvisit kme sa OZ before kme maPR pero walang Australia sa list...kaya naconfuse ako sa tanong na ito:( Thanks ulit!

    Clarification lang po sa mga nag apply na ng Citizenship. Yung question sa baba. This means only active and current residency lang tama ba? Hindi kasama yung renounced residency. In my case Singapore Residency renounced na ako. TIA.

    List all the countries where the applicant holds permanent residency and is not a citizen.
