Dear Team, I am worried. I have had the appointment and completed the exam 100% on 14th June and still haven't been approved. What do you think I should do ? email them and ask ?

Then get one ... It is just matter of going to ServicesSA and filling an application

Hi All Quick question ? Do you use NAATI certified translation documents when applying for the Citizenship ? I have used the same sworn translated document (not the government one, a Lawyer) for all my Visa applications so far in Australia (489, PR). /Thanks, DVR

@Megrand1, Cool, Thank you for your response ..

Dear All, I have a question, Is there any form of identification document for children under 5 years other than their passport ? The reason I want to ask is, by the time I apply for my Citizenship, my son's Indian passport will have less than 4 months to expire. Since he was born offshore, his passport was issued only for 3 years. /Thanks, D.V

It is just matter of clicking the "Submit" button. you sure you submitted the application and paid the Application fee?

Yes indeed, would like to know how to provide proof of arrival.

Sure, thanks for your advise

Thank you for your reply. Should we do it by the time we lodge the application or after getting the Citizenship ?

This is just a weird question. Has anyone changed/altered your name by the time you apply for Citizenship ?

If your kid is below 16 years of age, you don't have to wait till December. You can add her/him to your application. So then you wife can apply as a single applicant in December. Children below 16 don't have to fulfil any requirements

Yes, you are correct. Nomination are not managed by Department of Homeaffair, and it is by State Governments. So you should not be worried.

If you can provide that wouldn't hurt... In case the CO would ask you the overseas police clearance, your application will be on hold. we can't argue with them. If it is easier you to get it. just apply and upload. I have seen occasions where they ask for PC when the applicant has never left to home country Good Luck !!

Try to upload all the documents that have both your names on it (Tenancy agreement. Letter from Medical insurance, or the documents that you showed to get your partner subsequent visa, doesn't matter if its the same set of documents, upload them again. Most importantly, if you can create a bank account with both of your names on it (Joint saving or everyday account), that would be good. It will show Department that both of you live together under one roof. Attach that bank statement as a residential address proof as well. Good Luck !!

Get a letter from him that you lived in his place with rent free (with his signature, passport number, and a statement that you two have known each other for a long period of time) . Also, you must have phone bills, rego, Car insurance, or any document to prove that address, it would be fine. Tenancy agreement is just another document to add to above list. So don't worry.

If you are overseas by the time the visa is granted, you will be given "pre-grant", which doesn't have a deadline. The Permanent residency will be activated by the time you land in Australia. So don't worry. It doesn't matter whether you are the main applicant or/and dependent.

Specially mention that you are depressed without your family and ask them to make an exemption

Better not to take any risk. It is not mentioned anywhere that you can't move to metropolitan areas, but in case CO(s) asks you to provide a new AFP once it gets expired, you have to mention the addresses lived, which may become a problem. So I would recommend to stay out of that thought moving out, till you get PR. Good Luck.

Awesome @Megrand1, Thank you for your information.

That is totally fine, 4 weeks per year is acceptable. I was out of Australia for 26 days and wasn't offset before applying.

Do all these petitions really work guys ? my best friend is going to apply 887 soon and have asked him to sign yesterday

yes, I want to ind out what Parents Visas are entitled to have Medicare

NO problem, you can launch your Visa

Dependent doesn't need to fulfil any requirement except Character and relationship to the main applicant. So don't worry. Make sure you upload Marriage certificate, travel tickets, and anything that both your names on it. I reckon to create a join account in any bank and start using it immediately (In case you don't have it already) Good Luck

Wouldn't be a problem at all. You can attach whatever Super details you have. Further, You can contact Super at anytime and request a letter of updated details. Just say them it is for Immigration purposes. Normally it takes 3-5 business days. You can upload any document during the waiting period. Good Luck.
