Hey,no you don't have to get a police check for the test.all you got to do is fill crim track form and attach to the application.thats why you pay 240 for the department,all inclusive

Hey,you don't have to provide police clearance for the uk,unless you out of aus for 90 days,there is a form called " crimtrac",download,fill n attach to your online application, you better be hurry mate,it takes ages to process till you get the ceremony.once you complete 4 years in aus and 1 year in pr,apply straightaway. It takes at least 8-10 months to get your ceremony...all the best

Thanks, did you post it? Or is there any option to upload it online? where did you get you ceremony? In your new council or the old council? thanks

Hi,when you contact DIAC for changing residential address,do they ask you to prove again your new residence? Like bills,contracts,bank notice,etc or they just ask you the new address. Drop a line if anyone has any experience. cheers

Because I'm planning to travel in December and one of my mates getting married same month,I want a ceremony before December ,,,,,australia day is ok,but im not a big public person.see what happens,I'm trying...

It sucks mate waiting for a ceremony in a small regional council,they only have 2 in a year. I don't know that they put you on a neighbouring council. I'm asking again, has anyone done that before? Please tell your experience cheers

Hi, I'm waiting for a citizenship ceremony in a regional council,unfortunately the next one will be in Australia Day next year.but the council next to me is a city council and they have a ceremony every month. I'm going to change my address to the city council,so I might get a ceremony before Australia Day. has anyone done that before? cheers

Yeah mate

I got my application approved today 18 th aug. there is a ceremony in my council 30 of this month, will that be enough time to organise me for the ceremony? Should I ring them?

I got my application approved,,,,,yahhhhhhhh

Hi, has anyone got citizenship applied to cairns regional office?please Post time line here if you like to share. cheers

Hi Marshall, apprently,DIAC and ATO linked together,so they might be investigating your application with ATO. Even of your wife pulled the pin on reasonable grounds,still they can go through and investigate weather she got a another Job in the nominated position and remained in the bush,I have a same sort of problem, last financial year I got less than half of income from the company I work for, they might be holding approval on my application,never know I could be wrong.....keep updating whats happening,cheers bud

Hi varun,those who on RSMS got same sort of problem delaying approval,it's been 2 months now still I'm waiting for the approval,I applied to cairns regional office,the process seems to be slow in regional offices n ceremonies take place once a year being so small population in these areas,there is a ceremony at the end of this month,if I missed that,I probably have to wait till Australia Day,,,,,suckssss!!!

Hi mate,do I have to notify DIAC before I leave?

It's been 7 weeks now since I have done the test,still waiting for the departments decision,don't know really how quick it is in cities,I'm in the bush

Thanks mate,yeah,I got everything ready by now,lucky they sent me all my outstanding pay details.

Last month I got $ 500 nd calculated rate was 2.80 per hour, now I know where I am nd what I can do,thank you so much,

I'm waiting for my the approval letter from the department.

What should I do if they decline the citizenship application? 2. When am I able to leave this job? 3. Will that be a problem for the citizenshipIf I leave the job now? PLEASE HELP ME!!! THANKS
