I really think you're sweating the small stuff here. I'm sure it's fine to wear whatever you want given the circumstances, it's not as if anyone is going to witness it or be taking photos of you or anything.

Happy to say I’m now officially an Australian Citizen!

Ceremony went ahead today, albeit with Social Distancing and no photographer or friends/families allowed. No reception afterwards either.

A strange day, but understandable given the current environment. Happy to finally become an Aussie! It’s been a rocky road at times, but I finally made it!

Good luck everyone on your journeys!

Over and out! Dean

Congratulations. 

Its strange that they have cancelled some of them but executed some. May I know how many of them were there in the ceremony?

Hi,

My ceremony that was planned for 17th of March in Melbourne CBD has been cancelled citing the issues with COVID19. Not sure when do they resume.

FYI..

I have a question, In my application i have uploaded all the documents needed and there was no need for any overseas nor Australian police check.

However, i voluntary uploaded my AFP police check after nearly a year from my lodgement.

Now as i got my test interview they asked me to bring all the documents i have uploaded in my application but i do not have the Australian police check as it was expired months ago and it was not needed in the first place., so what should i do now? would that be a problem.

Its not a mandatory document to carry. Post interview and test, they perform Police checks before approving the application.

Hi,

I have a question on the required documents to be produced on the exam day!

Is Birth Certificate is Mandatory document? I do not have one. 

Whats the alternative to it? Does Statutory declaration is sufficient?

No, you need to read and learn the testable part of the document.
The questions at the end are just an example.

Thank you for the clarification.

You need to learn the testable section in Our Common Bond. All the questions are based on that content.

Thank you. 

There are twenty questions in that. Is that enough?

Hi, 

Does the questions present in immi site is enough to prepare for exam or will there be any additional documents that I need to go through like " Out common bond" etc,?

Appreciate your help.

Aryan

Hi guys
I've a bit complicated question and hope someone has an idea about it.
One of my friend's was on 457 visa and he couldn't get required ENGLISH score to apply 186 visa. Before his 457 visa expired he applied to again new 457 Visa. So after he applied 457 visa he got 5 each on PTE and loged 186 Visa Apllication(before 1st july)
So some says "he can apply to 186 Visa if he is on Bridging Visa"
some says"NO CANT"
What do you guys think about.it? And if he get REFUSAL on 457 Visa application what would happens his 186 Visa application?
Heaps thanks

Hi Sara, 

Did you quit the job that you want to use for the 187? If you don't have a valid nomination or pending nomination your 187 application will be refused. You cannot transfer sponsorship. How long it actually takes the department to catch wind of this depends if the employer notifies them in a timely fashion. 

187 visas can be cancelled for certain reasons among them being failure to work for the nominated employer for 2 years (bar some extenuating circumstances).

For someone who hasn't even been granted the visa I would very strongly suggest you discuss this with your agent, and let us know what you come up with. 

Is this valid of 187 or 186 type?

It looks like the processing time has changed. Looks like good news for direct entry.

Interestingly the date showed as 19th Sep where as today its 18th Sep.. not sure if this is manual inputted dates!

You can check the Acknowledge document when you have received while filing 186. Check the footer section.
