I have finally got my invite to sit the Citizenship interview and test. Applied November 8th 2020 Interview and Test 8th April 2020 I have question. They say in the letter to bring all original documents that were submitted with the application. I don’t think I still have some of them (ie. passport size photo) as I didn’t realised they were going to ask for them after uploading online. Beside some of the documents I uploaded were already scanned copies that I had from when I applied for my permanent residency (ie. birth certificate and translation). Do you think this will be a problem?

Thanks for your reply

I understand you have to start working within 6 months from visa grant and remaining for 2 years for with the employer but what if because of the initial unfair refusal (which is the immigration’s fault), I have already fulfilled more than 2 years employment (4 as a matter of fact, 2 since the refusal itself)? In this case, could it be possible that I have made a genuine effort to remain employed for at least 2 years?

Hey there, Someone might recognise me from previous discussions. So... I finally got my visa and PR through the 187 direct entry. I initially applied in June 2016. In December 2017 my nomination was refused and we appealed to the AAT. We won the appeal in August 2019 and my visa was remitted for reconsideration to immigration. Finally on November 1st 2019 I got my golden email! Now.... my grant letter doesn’t state any working conditions that restrict me to my actual employer. One of my friends got the same visa back in 2015 and I remember her letter clearly saying she had to work for 2 years with the employer. Mine says nothing about it! I even checked on VEVO. It says I have unlimited working and study rights. Does it mean that they took into consideration the time that I worked for my employer from when I applied to the tribunal (like when you serve time in jail while waiting for the trial and the you are found not guilty or guilty and the sentence is time served lol)? I see so many great and better job opportunities passing by under my nose that could really benefit my work career and I wonder if you could actually take them without waiting for 2 years. Is there anyone that could actually tell me? I would contact the immigration but... how???? They never answer!!!

This is one of the lucky circumstances where you get to be free from your workplace before the 2 years work and still keep the 187 visa ;-) Congratulations!

Finally! Good luck!

No hearing, only further documentations to provide. Please refer to my previous posts. I have already posted about it.

Same, it doesn’t mention it.

Guys my visa grant letter doesn’t mention any conditions. I remember my friend’s one saying specifically that she had to continue employment for 2 years but mine doesn’t. What do you guys think?

Look who just got a visa grant to day!!! Wooohooo! Words cannot describe my state of happiness right now!

Congratulations!! [emoji3060][emoji3060][emoji3060]

I am starting to think that my partner’s professional situation is holding the immigration from approving our visas. He is self-employed and he earns a part-time wage. He hasn’t lodged his tax return yet for the past financial year. Do you guys think that this could affect the department decision as we haven’t heard anything since we uploaded the documents they requested (s56) on September 23rd?

Hey Mark, what nationalities are you and your wife?

I think you can see from the letter where they ask for further documents.
