I called department of home affairs and informed them that they might have missed out sending ceremony invites for the applicants who got approved in May as most people who got invite for October month are approved in July. They said they will make a note of it and follow up. Not sure if it’s going to affect the outcome. But at least I an hoping that I will be invited for November ceremony. You may as well follow up with the department of immigration and raise your concerns as there are no ceremonies in 2023 after November.
Guys please all keep calling to them and remind them the number is 131 881
 
There's a gap of approvals from the end of May to start of July where it seems no one in between has reported an invite - my next thought is that there's a different ceremony those of us in that gap are being invited to?

So far all we've heard of is the 10:30am ceremony, there's also the possibility that another organisation, possibly the department itself, is organising a ceremony that we're getting an invite to?

I gave DHA a ring. They checked my records and everything is fine. They don't really have an explanation on why there hasn't been an invite scheduled for me. Eitherways, they've asked to give a ring back on 13th Nov( 6 months post approval) for next steps.

That’s definitely made by Department of Home Affairs and ceremony department. It’s obvious mistakes they made it but it’s unfair as they mentioned calling name for ceremony is by order in approval dates. They have a zero communication and not really care about what we informing. They Just keep saying 6 months….

My friends had experience of more than 6 months like 10 months and the people over the phone they don’t have any answers any times you call. They said case to case is different and that’s normal for some people take more than 6 months. They advising without checking anything in the file and they always saying everything is normal.
 
Congratulations to all who got invited for 24th October ceremony.
Just a quick question.
1. What we have to bring for ceremony as an any specific document or print out.
2. What is the requirement and documentation of applying passport after ceremony through post office or online.

Hi guys, has anyone received an invitation for the January 2024 ceremony in Parramatta? My application was approved in mid July 2023, no invite…
