Hi, your help on this would be much appreciated. I am eligible to apply for Citizenship on 24/April/2017 and I intend on travelling the USA for 20 months commencing on 26/November/2017. I’m looking to get my citizenship sorted before I head off and that gives me 7 months to complete the citizenship process. I intend on returning to Australia for good once finished travelling. I am based in Perth and my concern is that currently it’s taking people average/approximately 8 months to get citizenship from start to finish – it’s taking some of my mates 4-5 months to get the citizenship test alone in Perth city. I’m not too concerned about the period between passing the test and the ceremony. My main concern is the waiting period between the date I apply online and the date I do the test. I am wondering if I did my test in a lesser populated migrant area (rural WA) would it speed up the process of getting the test done? I was thinking somewhere like Albany, WA? Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. John
