This is my son's timeline.
- Feb 2020 – submitted application to the embassy
- Mar 2020 – application arrived at CPC-Sydney
- Dec 2020 – AOR
Called the embassy in Nov 2020, they told me to wait until Apr 2021, if nothing, call again.
If you haven't heard back and applied in similar time like me, maybe wait until April. Covid is really slowing down everything, and many staffs are working from home. This isn't good news for citizenship applications as they're all paper applications I think and cannot be worked digitally and remotely.
