Sadza Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Hello all, Just wondered if I could get some advice. I have applied and have been granted Australian citizenship. I want to apply for the partner visa for my partner. Do you think it would be worth applying for my Australian passport before I proceed with this application. I have booked an appointment for the passport interview, the earliest appointment they had was on the 13th of February. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Guest Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I'd go ahead and get it regardless of the partner visa. You are the sponsor, not the applicant btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadza Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 Thanks for the response. Yes I'm the sponsor. I just wondered if not holding a Australian passport would cause delay in the application or cause any issues as I just currently have the citizenship certificate.

Guest Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Is the visa being applied for in Aus or overseas? You say 309 but appear to be in Aus as you've just become a citizen. IIRC somewhere on the partner visa application form it will ask for the sponsor's Aus passport details. Read the checklist for what they expect to be included. I'd not take chances and include it either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadza Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 I applied for my citizenship whilst the UK and we are still in the UK. Will wait for my passport before submitting the application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank3 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Hi, we applied for our partner visa wirh PR status and my partner became in the middle of the process also an Australian citizen. I had similar concerns and contacted the Australian Migration Agent Association. They confirmed that there is no reason to worry, all good! Good Luck Frank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
