- thanks guys, what you've both found is what we saw too and what's concerned me, the fact it is so unclear. I'm hesitant to query it with immigration and it become an issue that might not even be picked up if that makes sense... I'm hoping that because it was gained purely for a passport it would not have caused loss of citizenship, was just wondering if anyone had any personal experience with anything similar. I'm hoping that as it says in this quote that because it was acquired through applying for a passport he will not have lost it. Additionally the fact that he's since had Aussie passports issued to him and our kids have been given Aussie citizenship should indicate that they class him as an australian cirizen

Hi, I'm new to this forum and looking for some advice. We've submitted my partner visa application already and just looking for some clarification. My husband and I are married with children and both my children are Aussie citizens (one born here and one through descent). On my husbands sponsorship form it asks in question 9 if he holds any other citizenship, to which he answered honestly that yes he has uk citizenship as he applied for a passport (his dad was born in England) in 1996. It has only since come to our attention that australian citizenship laws changed and he could potentially have lost his australian citizenship by gaining a british passport (on his passport it says british citizen) before 2002.. He has been living in the uk for the last 10 years but still holds an australian passport and we've been living here in australia since November (me on a visitor visa and now a bridging visa)... Anyone else applied for a partner visa where there partner also holds additional citizenship and it's all gone ok or had any queries etc? Hope that all makes sense! I'm hoping if the case worked has any queries they will ask about it, he only applied for a British passport to make travelling around Europe and Ireland easier and so it wasn't specifically to gain british citizenship and he certainly wouldn't have done so if he had been aware of the rules at the time about losing Aussie citizenship if you gain another etc
