None at all. Have been in touch to see if we can get a quickie ceremony but not heard yet, how did you get that?

Yes, its a bit odd, but we will take it

Just been told we are on Australia day ceremony, that will be 6 months from application to ceremony

Boom !! Just checked, application approved also. 2 months and 2 weeks from application !! Wife was a week quicker

Congrats !

Which number did you call them on do you mind me asking?

Did my test on Monday, wife did hers on Tuesday, she is approved today and me and the kids still saying received !! FML

How long did you wait for your test?

Yeah but cant see it being 16 months, I have friends that waited 12-15 months for the interview and test only recently

I applied 4 weeks ago and we already have our interview and test email through for next month, thats quick right?

If my clearance cert when I applied for residency was clear and I havent been back, I wonder if they will accept that?

Hmm, the paper form said you only needed to do that if you were overseas when you had an Australian visa, but no mention of that on the web page you provided. BALLACHE ! How long did it take to get the certs?

So, just going through this now, and its a bit confusing on whether I need to get a police certificate from the UK, can anyone help? I have lived here for 4 years and not been away for more than 3 weeks, the wording they use on whether you need a uk police clearance is muddled but I am thinking I dont?

Friends applied last week and were told by immi that processing time is now down to 4 months as they have ramped up staffing to get through the backlog

Oh yeah !!!!
