I applied on 19/2/21. Today 8/4/21, less than 7 weeks later, I got invited to citizenship test! Test date 5/5/21.

I just applied for citizenship today 19/2/21. Anyone applied lately in Perth WA and had news?

If anyone is waiting for the 2nd stage partner visa (100), mine was just granted on 12th October. Stats are as my signature, applied for 100 on 27/12/16 as per my eligibility date. So 10.5 month wait.

Thank you and sorry for delayed reply. I got granted PR yesterday. If the bill doesn't get passed, what were the old/original rules of applying for citizenship after PR?

Well since last post we have moved to Geraldton and really enjoying it! Definitely was the right move for us.

We may have the opportunity to move to Geraldton for work. We currently live in Tasmania. I've read so much about 'Gero' and main issues seem to be higher crime/drugs in certain areas, and reasonably isolated. However it has to be all relative, surely. Where we currently live now is 2.5 hours to the nearest supermarket for example. There's 600 people in town. All I want is to be able to get a takeaway delivered to my house or go to Target. People seem to love where I live now though and I don't understand it! I hate it. I do love the beach here though and 4wd and boating. So that's a tick for Geraldton too. Of course we will visit before we commit. Suburbs to avoid? I've read Spalding and Rangeway. Good Suburbs? I've read Drummond Cove, Sunset Beach, Tarcoola Beach (?)

Just to clarify - I entered Australia in June 2015 on WHV Partner visa 309 granted February 2016 Applied for visa 100 (PR) Dec 2016 PR expected to be granted Jan 2018 (approx) So I wouldn't be able to apply for citizenship until 2022, correct?

Wow, well that is extremely helpful to the OP. Unless you can actually provide helpful advice (which I guess you can't because you don't work for free) then what's the point in even posting? 'I know the answer but I'm not going to to tell you, he he' Definitely my bugbear of these forums!!!

I have submitted my 100 visa application, but whenever I now try to upload a document it says 'field filename must have a value'. it does have a value! I have tried in Chrome and IE, deleted cookies etc but still no joy. How long do I have before someone looks at it? I did the application 2.5 weeks ago and still not attached anything bar 3 things. Any one else had this problem?

Unfortunately, no. I had never even been to Australia before I agreed to move here. I realise rainforests need rain. But when it rains constantly all day every day it gets a little tiresome. I even had the heater on yesterday. I could maybe deal with the weather (I am from UK after all) but it is so isolated here too. Everything is 2+ hours away. I came with my partner for his work (he is from here) and I had the promise of a job too (which never materialised). I am desperate to move to Hobart this year!

I live on the west coast and it NEVER STOPS RAINING Very depressing!

Sorry this is not entirely relevant to this thread, but it's now time for me to start putting my 100 application together after being granted the 309 in Feb. Its been ages since I applied for 309, I need refreshing, is there a checklist for things I need to include for 100? Medicals/police checks etc? All done through immiaccount like before? If someone can point me in the right direction that'd be great.

Thank you. Probably won't bother then.

Right so I finally booked flights for us all to go visit the UK. I've started the application for my sons Australian passport. If I get him a UK one too - is he eligible to use the NHS? Just in case anything happened whilst there. Otherwise still not sure whether to bother with the UK one.

I got to know these girls last summer. Strahan is a lovely place to visit for a few days but I live here and good lord is it boring.
