    Another article from after the 2017 bill was rejected, posted August 2018, simply stating the Amendment Bill is 'back on the agenda', without much more detail: http://www.ozkiwi2001.org/2018/08/citizenship-changes-back-on-agenda/

    Hi all As many of you will remember, in April 2017 Malcolm Turnbull and Peter Dutton announced their Australian Citizenship Legislation Amendment Bill, which then failed to pass with the Senate later the same year. The changes included stricter english language requirements and an increase in PR requirement for citizenship by conferral from 1 year to 4 years. Although I'm not yet able to vote, I kept a close eye on the election and was reading up on any immigration-related statements made by Scott Morrison and Bill Shorten. The whole subject of changes to citizenship and visa pathways has seemed to quieten down for now, but given the election result i'm wondering where this might be on the coalition government's agenda. There's not an awful lot of discussion online regarding this, aside from an SBS article posted in January which summarises the 2017 bill and gives some insight in to the requirements to pass a similar bill in future. Would anyone more politically minded than me be willing to share their 2 cents or predictions on whether this is now likely to show it's head again, given the election result? Or is it off the table given their inability to pass it back in 2017. Tom

    Thank you

    That's awesome, thanks for the info. So it doesn't matter which Immi account you use? I'd rather do them through the same one if that's possible. Also, at what point do you get the option to link them? Thanks!

    Hi Citizenship Crew My fiancee and I are both eligible in a few weeks and I'm just getting organised. My fiancee has been my de facto partner on both my 457 and 186 visas. This may sounds like a real starter question, but is there any way we can submit citizenship applications together, or do we do this independently now via our individual Immi Online accounts? I notice when reviewing the paper based form we should be listing each other as 'other associated people' as de facto, but other than that is there any option to lodge a joint application? It's only a minor detail, we're just used to lodging visa apps together! Thanks in advance!

    Hi all! I've tried requesting access to the application spreadsheet a few times in the past. Anyone know who's in control of allowing access to it? I used the link below, please let me know if this is wrong! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JYRvi6XH4LKUvdCW5vmCG44U7VG469oZNQeKgceVDO4/edit?ts=589cfc5c#gid=0 Thanks in advance. Tom

    This was a change in law only spoken about (a lot) in the media, but never actually passed in government... thankfully!!!

    It's 'Finalised' again now that I check

    I got two immi grant notification emails with attachments, one for me and one for my partner. I presume because of this my partner doesn't know yet (hehe) so I'm planning on surprising her with it as soon as I knock off today! Funnily enough my status in immi online did change to 'Finalised' but then changed back to Received... I think it's being processed through the database for the site, as the grant letters appear next to the status of 'Received'... weird.

    Thanks mate! I do feel for you sitting there still from June but it's looking like they're really ploughing through marketing now, could be any moment!!

    Can't believe i'm saying this: I got my golden emails! Just now about 20 minutes ago... 186 TRT Occupation: Marketing Specialist LR Country Number of applicants: 2 Nomination applied: 11th October 2017 Visa applied: 24th October 2017 [Nothing further requested. No contact made.] Nomination and Visa granted: 14th June 2018 Still can't quite believe it, i'm in shock! Good luck everyone. I know so many of you have been waiting a lot longer than me.

    I'll inbox you

    She used to offer 15 minutes for $120 or something around that, which it what i went for, but i notice that option has recently dropped off the website.
  19. millski88
    That seems like an awful lot. There's an awesome immigration lawyer in Melbourne and you can pay for phone calls with her, 200 bucks for 30 minutes. I've spoken to her a few times and the advice is always spot on, a lot of inside knowledge and guidance you won't get anywhere else. 30 minutes it a lot longer than it sounds too, so long as you're properly prepared and prioritised with what you're asking.

    So quick! Congrats.
  21. millski88
    Highlight of the week so far. Literally...
  22. millski88
    Only email now, as far as i'm aware. But yes - i'd make an effort to politely chase after 17 months.
  23. millski88
    Awesome news congrats mate!
  24. millski88
    I have thought that in the past, but do you really think they'd have the time or energy to check?
  25. millski88
    haha, i can almost hear an internal dialog: "please. mean. 2017...." hahahaha
