Become Australian today 04/03/2020. Aussie Aussie oi oi. Thank you all of you. It was a great journey for me through immigration system. It was all about ups and downs but this group guided me in the right way to walk down to my destination. It’s all done for me and become proud australian which i always wanted to be and everyone in this group was really helpful and real mate. Thanks everyone once again, i am kazbaker signing off. Good luck everyone ! God bless you guys !

Usually you will see in your immi account status.It will be received to approved and also immigration minister will send out a letter stating your citizenship has been approved. BTW which city council you are in?

surely it will be cancelled. secondary applicant is based on primary applicant as it is also a temporary visa which needs to meet visa satisfaction. Let us know the visa outcome.

You need a residence return visa if your current visa expires before you return to australia. it is not a big deal though.

unbelievable nearly 23 months !

if you live in australia on temporary visa (regardless what temporary visa you were on) for 4 years and 12 months after you become permanent resident. you are eligible to apply citizenship.

It is indeed such a crazy question. Under no any circumstances your citizenship can be delayed or refused just because you applied for new start allowance or to access government benefits. In Australia government agency works independently. Each an every government agency practice on based on information which are available in relations to policy they have to comply with.

Once you commence application, you continue to fill the form online. You don’t need to search what documents to be required. It is an online application form, immigration will ask you what you need to put in. At the end of application you need to attach scan copy of your legal documents.

Do online. It’s easy through immi account. you can pre-fill now to load off at the time of lodge.

You can download those apps if you use iphone head down to app store. just type australian citizenship test (australian common bond) you will get heaps of list of apps. download which are free. and to add signature: Go to Account ->account settings->settings area->signature->type and update.

Hex, he might be looking for paying the money instead of submitting the English language score as it is for his spouse application. If this is the case he is definitely waiting for the link where he can pay it off. Not sure though he might be looking for submitting the original ielts score once he has been told.

Great mate ! Congratulations ! Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Much appreciated it. Good luck and be proud as an Australian. Happy for you. BTW which council and state was it?

Yes your spouse needs to apply separately and if you are primary applicant you can include your baby in your application. You can use same immi account applying two different application. i had same situation when i applied citizenship and all went good and approved with no drama.

Thank you so much for your generosity leaving the valuable information for us. At least it increases my knowledge on applying for australian passport timeline. Once again thank you

Help ! Friends , how can I update the immi about changing the name of my son on birth certificate once citizenship certificate is issued with old name? He was born in Australia and I applied my son’s change of name on birth certificate before receiving his citizenship certificate which is due on 4 March. So I assume we may receive Son’s new (name change) birth certificate just before or around the same time. Can my son get a new citizenship certificate after getting one with old name? What is the process? please advise.

It is your PR application which already been granted. Get into it and update the passport

You can do it in immi account on your citizenship application view details—>Update details—>Change the passport details—>Done once you upload they will notify you that it was received and updated.

Friendz, Good news ! Finally received an email today from Immi for invitation to attend citizenship ceremony. Takes place on 4 March 2020.

It is required to valid passport at the time of application of citizenship. You have no choice but have to get it renewed as soon as possible.

me but not from local MP. it is from Minister of citizenship

Nora, my advice to apply your citizenship smoothly is to make sure you have all the documents ready and scanned beforehand. Another important part is to get your identification documents ready beforehand as well. As it took me 5 days delay due to not having done it on time. You can print them out and take it to your regular GP doctor and get it signed in. I believe you already know it. recommending you Just in case if you don’t know yet. Cheers !

Friends, Is there anyone in Dandenong city council, victoria here? Looks like council organises ceremony every fortnightly which is actually good. I got the date list here. Have a look

You only become Australian once your Ceremony is completed and you can apply for passport on same day.

Congratulations ! Bipasha. It was long crazy ocean journey indeed. Eventually You have landed safely and now all your’s. Enjoy the taste of achievement. You have a very good luck and your family. Lesson hard work pays off.
