First Question

My spouse has 6 Demerit Points on DL for jumping Red Light.  Fine was paid straightway and No court facing at all.

Can we still apply for Citizenship or do we need for Points to be removed first and then apply for Citizenship for him.

Thanks

Hi mate from what i know so far ( research due to similar issues with driving but more serious) she does not have to wait for demerit points to be removed in order to apply for citizenship , however when assessing her file they will consider the date the offence was done , any repeat traffic offences , any pattern in traffic offences etc , if she has a history of running the red light once in a while it will be a problem , if she has other traffic offences in a short period of time that could affect her file too , so better make sure she does not add more fines to her traffic history , if it's just a once off thing and if she have no more traffic offences before and after that then it couldn't be a problem at all but make sure you declare all offences minor or major as this will show that you are of good character and take responsibility for your mistakes

a) someone told me that the green medicare card was sent to them without even notifying medicare about it , so im going to wait a couple of weeks before going to medicare

b) if you have a child and a spouse that does not work and if your income is below a certain amount you maybe eligible to get family tax benefit b payments , if so you might have to take your documents to centre link otherwise for many other benefits we have to wait for between 1-4 years 

c) Nothing else that i can think of other than updating immi account when you move address and preparing for citizenship 🙂

i have an excessive speeding offence but that is from 2011 and i haven't got any traffic offences since then , so i hope they will look past this and consider my citizenship , if your driving recored before this drink driving and after this offence is good then it will not be a problem , if you have a pattern of traffic offences it can be a problem as they will look at this as you were a person who breaks Australian laws more often. Whatever it is make sure that when you apply for citizenship declare all offences and show remorse for your actions , try to convenience them that it will not happen again

      CDR is a must-have in obtaining a skilled migration visa, for which your CDR report needs to stand out amongst various Engineer applicants in Australia. And hence you can say that writing a CDR requires a lot of focus, experience, and time. If you believe you have good CDR writing skills, that's great, but if you are somewhat uncertain about writing a CDR, you should be seeking professional help.
      Why do Most CDR Reports Gets Rejected?
      Engineers in Australia without qualifications in engineering are required to show their competency through a CDR report. A CDR Report can help EA test your talents and abilities to decide whether you could get permission to stay and work in Australia. The CDR comprises the following essential components: Curriculum Vitae (CV), Three Career Episodes, Continuing Professional Development (CPD), and Summary Statement.
      Many applicants try to create their own CDR report. However, when applicants are less experienced with the rules, guidelines, and CDR writing skills of EA, they tend to make more mistakes which can eventually lead their reports to get rejected. Below are a few common reasons for the rejection of the CDR reports by Engineers Australia (EA):
      CDR report is not according to EA guidelines Improper structure and word count Grammatical errors and the presence of plagiarism Absence of essential scanned document Irrelevant career episodes and other information Wrong structure of the Career Episodes, summary statement, and CPD Lack of enough evidence to support the ideas in the CDR report CDR in a different language other than English Career episodes are too technical

      CDR Report plays a crucial role to demonstrates your engineering skills and knowledge to meet Australian standards. Suppose you are an engineer from a country other than Australia and want to relocate to Australia.

      Hi All, being on 489 visa can we visit New-Zealand or we need tourist visa?
      For tourists visa do we have to get it done from our home country or from Australia?
      At last, if we want to visit Europe from Australia(while on 489 visa), from where I will apply Schengen visa, Australia or home country? 
      if someone had similar experience and want to share their perspectives/thoughts please:)
