After citizenship test status don’t change?

[Henry]

Hi, a month ago I passed my citizenship test; however my status on IMMI says still “received”. I have a few friends going through the same and their status changed to “accepted” I believe the day after they passed their test. They also received a physical letter to their email.

I was wondering if I should be worried or if anyone has had the same experience.

Many Thanks,
Henry

It's common. For some lucky applicants, the approval is (almost) immediate - their status is changed on the same day and the physical letter is posted. But for some others, it takes a few months. As soon as your application is approved, your status will be updated and you will receive the formal letter within a few days.

However, the delay doesn't necessarily mean anything bad. Though it's not entirely clear what exactly causes this difference, but most likely something to do with the queue on that particular center, the efficiency of the workforce of that center etc. I have seen a lot of cases where approval took a few months, but there was no additional check/call happened.

Hi Henry,

Any update after your test ? Have you received your approval as yet or has your immi status changed to APPROVED ?

Is there any tracker like that of immitracker which is for visas. Is there something out there for citizenship?

Immitracker is a 3rd party forum, not official. There is no official tracker, but you'll find a similar tracker for citizenship in several sites including ImmiTracker.

Cheers.

Hi Henry,
How much time it took your application status changed from received to approved? Me and my wife did the test and interview the same day, her status was changed on the same day but my is still pending with received, so how much time it took ur application to change from received to approved?

I know a similar case where both husband and wife appeared in the test/interview on the same day, and wife's were approved on the same day as well. The husband's took a little more than 3 months.

Hi,

I did my test 2 days ago and everything went smooth.

I know that the "Approved" is sometimes delayed, and some lucky people will have it on the spot.

My question is: Do they send an email when it's approved? or do I need to check my immi account from time to time to see if the status changed from "Received" to "Approved"?

Thank you.

Hass

They don't send any email, they mail hard copy of approval letter. The best way to check before getting the letter is, as you said, check status in your ImmiAccount.

If you choose to receive email correspondence they send email.My wife received approval notification by email but mine still status application received.

Oh, that’s a very good change then. A couple of years ago, there was no option to choose for email confirmation of approval.

Hi All,
I have cleared my test and done with interview as well on 30.03.2022. However, my immi account status is still showing 'received'. I have not received any letter or email from department of home affairs saying my application is approved. Please let me know if it is normal. I am getting really worried about it now. It has been more than 40 days.

Please let me know if anyone is facing same issue.
Thanks in advance.
