If you don't have your passport, you can show your australian driver's license that would suffice. You can also show your expired passport. I DID this for my test and ceremony.

Finally Australians!!! ❤ 297 new citizens today at Moreton Bay Regional council from more than 30 countries! What a Journey! All the best everyone. Your day will come. ✌

You will do just fine. Be honest with your responses, and stay calm during test. Questions are pretty straight forward.

Hi, they will invite you to your Ceremony via email. If you need to check if you are in their list for the next ceremony you can ring the Moreton Bay Regional Council customer service line. If you are schedule, and cannot make it, you can reschedule it and they will allocate you on the next available date. Hope this answers question.

Maybe you will be allocated to a different city council? Allocated to their queue, it may be longer or shorter the waiting time.

She can bring her Australian driver's license, plus any other ID, doesn't matter if it has been expired. I was told this when calling at their customer service line.

For the test/interview date, we got an email from DHA and a notification/message on our immi account. We were based in Melbourne back then. And for the ceremony, we were invited via email from our Moreton Bay Regional Council (Qld) by their marketing team. They only sent one email to my hubby with the invitation for all applicants. I have friends in BNE who were invited via mail postage.

Do you have children attending school? That perhaps you may know their teacher for +12 months? We had our school principle sign for us. We weren't "friends", just acquaintance.

For those in Moreton Bay Regional Council. We have been invited via email to attend our ceremony on the 4th/Nov/2021. Fingers crossed we don't go into lockdown. I hope you all get your invites soon too! It will have taken us 8 months from our approval date to ceremony.

Yes. Once you attend your VC your application and those dependant attached will be finalised. As you can see, there is only one file on your immi account, the one under your name and once you click on the (+) tab it will show your dependants. But as a whole, they will finalise your application. It only came with your name because you the main applicant and are the only one legally required to attend the ceremony. I was told this by citizen officer on the test date as my husband has our school-age daughter attached to his app.

Look at the title: it says immigration and citizenship. That's from their officail website. Yes, I did use this form for Citizenship.

There is NO need to re-apply. Just upload the form 1023-Notification of incorrect answers form and that is it (just download it from searching it in Google: form 1023). It happened to us as well with other questions and did this. That is the purpose of this form. Cheers.

Yes, separate per applicant over 16 years of age.

I would recommend Melbourne Eastern Suburbs. They are quite nice, and probably 38-45 min from Melbourne CBD. I.e.: Croydon Mooroolbark, Ringwood, or even the Yarra Valley area. Have a good look. We lived in Croydon for.3.years and loved the life stlye we had qith two school kids. Bjt we always wanted to moved up back to Qld because of the weather.

They make it very clear, it is a waiting game.
