  1. Happy New Year everyone. May this new year bring good news for all of you still waiting out there.
  2. Really sorry to read this Mate. We applied almost at the same time and you are one of the reason I keep an eye on this forum to check how your application is going. Good luck with the new nomination!
  3. Not really mate. Had my visa granted pretty quick in 2016 and I was reading the same comments from people the year before. There is just things happening in the background that we don’t know about.
  4. Well it depends. Could be 4 months, could 14 months... Sent using Poms in Oz mobile app
  5. Once the PR is granted you are fine. Do not worry about that. Such is life. You could be on $100k a year and $50k a year the following one that it wouldn't matter. It all matters before you apply to your visa. Not after it is granted. Sent using Poms in Oz mobile app
  6. Joint Bank account (important!!) Flights Bus tickets Photos Stat Dec (from Australian citizen only) SMS (I printed all the SMS between my partner and myself for the last year) Get your parents to send you a letter or two with both your names on the envelope and keep the enveloppe for your visa) Order something on eBay,online shopping with your names...

  9. My MA called me a few minutes after receiving the email. I checked at 2:50pm and it was Received, checked again an hour and half later and it was Finalised. Sent using Poms in Oz mobile app
  10. Well most PR visas currently exonerate passport holders of English speaking countries (not all of them) to sit and English test. And that seems more than fine to me. Sent using Poms in Oz mobile app
  11. Well it depends. When they don't require any docs or if there is only few checks to do, it can be granted immediately. Sometimes, it can be a few days or weeks. Sent using Poms in Oz mobile app
  12. The law hasn't been passed yet. It is hard to give you a bit more information on something that doesn't exist yet. We only got the general idea at this stage not the fine prints. Sent using Poms in Oz mobile app

  14. This is the official answer: The Government will introduce new citizenship related legislation into the Parliament, informed by responses to this paper, by the end of 2017. The package of reforms will apply to applications received on or after the Government’s announcement on 20 April 2017. Sent using Poms in Oz mobile app
  15. It looks like people who applied before today are still fine. Sent using Poms in Oz mobile app
  16. I have edited my post before your reply. For Stevwtosh It won't make any difference, that's true. Still pretty different though.
  17. This is incorrect. Currently you need to have lived 4 Years (legally) in Australia including one year as a PR. That's a big difference. I have been living in Australia for 7+ years. My PR got granted recently so it means that by the time I can apply for Citizenship, I would have lived in Australia 11 years under this new law. Because Stevwtosh arrived on a PR directly, It won't change much for him indeed.
  18. This won't affect your ability to live and work in Australia, it might affect how long it will take from now on for you and your family to get your Citizenship.
  19. Secondary applicants... I wouldn't be surprised if there is exemption for passport holders of english speaking countries and main applicants for example. (We will see). This hasn't been confirmed yet. They still need to pass the law first. They haven't always done that in the past. Let's wait and avoid any unnecessary speculation.
