Hi all, has anyone got any further info/experience regarding timeframes of citizenship approval through to pledge ceremonies within Brisbane City Council. My partner and I were approved in late November/early Dec and have yet to receive an invite to a ceremony. BCC when contacted passed us on to Immigration who advised that 75% of people when being processed through within 7 months. There also looks to be not many ceremonies being held for the rest of the year and obviously a lot of people to get through. Cheers

check out page 13, theres a couple of us who were approved late June, early July and got the invitations for 14/07. We started getting invitations exactly 4 weeks prior, just like the email from them said (4-2weeks before the ceremony)
So, all you who were approved late July, or later, hold your horses, and be patient a bit. You will get the invitation very soon I'm sure. They tend not to overstep the 1 year from approval by an awful lot. And now with extra August ceremonies (4 total!), I'm sure a lot of us will be citizens very soon. You've been all waiting for a year, one more month is nothing.

So my wife who got approved on 28 July 2021 was finally allocated a ceremony date today. It will be on 15 August. We had emailed ceremony.qld@homeaffairs.gov.au on 13 June but didn't receive a reply so on 29 June we emailed LMRSVP@brisbane.qld.gov.au which is the email address that they send the official invites from. They emailed us today advising of the allocation date of 15 Aug and said we'll get a letter in the mail and the invite itself closer to the time. Suggest anyone who wants an update also email this other address.
Do anyone from 30 of May ceremony know why our certificates are not yet posted? I am in urgent need of my certificate. The stress is killing me, does anyone know what I can do or who I can contact to get a help (other than home affairs and the ceremony email)?
I don't think you have any other option than contacting the home affairs. But since you work full time with no time to call DOHA, I am not sure how you will get an urgent update from them.
Cheers
They don't respond email, I emailed them many times but got no answer
Received my invitation this morning!
Approval: 12th July 2021
Ceremony: 28th July 2022
I would advise that you check every email address you listed on your citizenship application. My invite was sent to my secondary email address which I rarely check and had received no correspondence about this application until now. I had been receiving all updates on the primary address I nominated but the invite got sent to another address..oh well.....

Well, we have to wait at least 10 days any way before applying for a passport. So, I guess not having the certificate right at the ceremony should be alright. At least there is some certainty now.
