Has anyone seen the statistics on this Citizenship processing times webpage?
The average waiting month has increased from 19 to 21 months for 90% of the applications. This isn't looking good at all.

@IslanderndCity From my observation, hindi siya mas mabilis. May instances na mas matagal pa pag paper application. Isa pang disadvantage is hindi mo makikita yung progress ng application.

Someone in Adelaide took the "paper option". 9 months leadtime from application submission to receiving invite for exam. Then + 2.5 months naka-oathtaking na. So total less than 1 year. Single (dalaga) siya

fgs · July 2019

We cannot really conclude the pattern how applications are assessed, online or paper-based. There are 2017 applications still waiting for test invites while some 2019 applications were processed ahead. As stated in the acknowledgement email, applications are assessed as per individual circumstances. In my case, I only waited 3 months for the test invite and took the test a week later. Approval took 5 mins after the test. I have to wait 7 weeks for the ceremony ( our council administer citz ceremony every 2 months). Many have to wait many months after the test for the approval.

Gaano katagal bago mag update ang immiaccount mo na approved and finalised?

Question lang po:

Required din po ba ang baby na macomplete ang 4 years ng residency sa australia pra maqualify for citizenship?

Immi account will be updated the moment na inapproved ang application mo...finalised once matapos ang ceremony. Mine took 6 days after ceremony before naupdate ang immi acct.

Saan pinanganak baby mo? If dito, you just need to apply for evidence of citizenship. If sa PH, im not sure :-(

Sa Singapore pinanganak, mejo nalito kasi ako sa eligibility sa website;

Meet the general residence requirement
At the time you apply you must have been:

living in Australia on a valid visa for the past 4 years
a permanent resident or eligible New Zealand citizen for the past 12 months
away from Australia for no more than 12 months in total in the past 4 years, including no more than 90 days in total in the past 12 months
For children 16 or 17 years old, if meeting this requirement would cause significant hardship or disadvantage, you will need to provide proof.

Children under 16 do not need to meet the general residence requirement but must be permanent residents.

Tinignan ko din yan...all children under 16 years old pwede mo isama sa application mo and they are not required to meet the residency requirements of 4 years...basta holding PR visa sya, same what you are holding

Thanks.

Nope

se29m · August 2019

Parehas din sakin.. di ko pa lang nauupload mga files ko..

Tourist visa august 2015
Pr visa entry may 2016 (valid pa tv ko nun na approve pr ko)
Less than 2 months outside oz after entry na pr na

Pag napascan ko na mga docs, pede na isubmit lodgement.. nung august 5 di ako makaalis sa step 4 or 5 pero ngayun okay na..

@IslanderndCity said:
Case1:

Permanent Residence Date Feb 28, 2015 based on Initial Entry date.
Lawful Residence Date Feb 28, 2015 also (see below SOURCE for details why)
Lodgement Date July 9, 2019 which is 4 years & 4 months after IED

Periods outside of Oz:
Mar 8, 2015 to Feb 9, 2016 = 11 months
Jun 8, 2016 to Jun 12, 2016 = 4 days
Jun 19, 2016 to Jul 4, 2016 = 15 days

Kahit 3 years & 5 months lang na nakatira sa Oz from Feb 9, 2016 to July 9, 2019, ang result ng eligibility to apply for citizenship is YES.

Anyone sa inyo ganito din ba?

Yung husband ko naghintay almost a month ata after ng exam namin bago na approve yung application nya. Yung sa akin na approve minutes after ng exam. From exam date to ceremony invite, mga 3 months din hinintay namin. Next month ang ceremony. 🙂

Thanks,I am also Active to taht forum haha. Thanks and I am so happy for you two. Sa wakas Aussie na kayo next month!

Hi guys, for pinoys, the average processing time from application to approval to citizenship ceremony is between 3 months to 1 year. Don't compare it with other nationalities bcoz of the so called "individual circumstances". Usually we pinoys are not subject to "external check" unlike pakistans and from other muslim countries that take more than 2 yrs for background checks.

Haha! Nakaka aliw nga magbasa basa dun sa forum na un. Dami nilang alam. Haha. Actually tingin namin, ang nagpatagal ata sa approval ng application ng asawa ko ung BMI at IS check. 18months din ang naging processing ng application namin. 🙂

Hopefully makuha mo din ung approval at invitation soon..
