You could be an exceptional case where it takes longer to checks, etc., but your turn for test/interview should not be that far.

Thanks Mustafa. I thought mine was a pretty straightforward case. Nevertheless, who knows how the DHA thinks about it .

Is there any way I could contact the dept and see whats happening . I called the Immigration helpdesk once and the only info I could gather was whats prescribed on the department's website.

I lodged mine Oct 19 2020 and supposed to have the test in Mar 2020 but there was lockdown so my test was postponed. Hv Waited till yesterday (20/10/2020) for the interview and to sit for the test and now 21 Oct 2020 my citizenship application is approved.

Pandemic lockdown may have caused backlog in DHA

Citizenship Application Help For Child

Hi I am applying for citizenship and I need to add my child (5 yr) in my application. I got confused in following question on page 9/36

• Does this child have the details of the last passport used to enter or depart Australia?

Since, we came to australia, my child's passport has been renewed, which passport details to I mention?

If I mention my old child's passport details then under documents for photograph and signature, i have to mention the current passport details which I did. however during document upload it doesnt give option to add old passport details how shall i proceed?

Please let me know if I have done right

I assume it is your child's old passport. See the highlighted part, where the question says "....used to enter or depart Australia", which is very clear in itself.

As for attaching proof, there is no need to when they have not asked for it. If you still insist on attaching one, you can always do so under "Others" category.

Hello. Does anyone know when postponed tests in Victoria will start, now that restrictions have reduced and we will be on Step 3 by the end of October?

I lodged my application on 28 November 2020 and my original test was scheduled on 7 May 2020. This has not been postponed and I don't see why DHA wont restart tests in Victoria, given that they had restarted tests in NSW under similar conditions.

Does anyone know if we can still do virtual ceremonies in December/Jan/Feb 2021 onwards? Thanks!

The premier doesn’t listen to the federal minister, do you think he is bothered about residents not being able to complete the tests
I am sure DHA must be in touch with the health department and once they get the green signal they will go ahead
Virtual ceremony process has been would down and they are conducting very few in some areas
You have to just wait and see how it unfolds over the coming days

Cheers

Does this applicant have the details of their previous application?

Hi all.

Currently, I am in the process to apply for my citizenship application, found this question - Does this applicant have the details of their previous application? Yes or No. And I am confused about it. what does it mean here by application? it means Citizenship or any other application for example PR application.which answer should I select 'Yes' or 'No'? if Yes I have to enter some details about this application.

Thank you.

I did not know preponing was an option Arun. In that case, I would have! Have you completed your ceremony?

Yes, I have completed the ceremony at the end of July.

There should be a question before this particular question which would help you understand what previous application it is referring to.

Since your citizenship is no longer due, you should consider changing your username here

Received my citizenship interview letter today. It has been scheduled for 28-November. Can I reschedule it to an earlier date? Only earlier date available is tomorrow I am not sure if 1 day is enough to study the test material and prepare. Any suggestions?

If you are confident with The Common Bond then you can reschedule it for tomorrow.

Never looked into it but is it something I can study in a few hours?
