I passed test on Monday but havnt been approved. Wonder if they are still continuing the approvals.

Can anyone recommend a good app for the citizenship test for Android please?

Yes, definately. Thanks.

Yes, it's just my savings. My plan was to take my money with me when I permanently move back. Was just curious if there's anything I need to do before I send it over or if anything can happen if I do.

I can just transfer this into my UK account and HMRC won't question it ?

I'm living in Australia as a PR and likely to return to UK to live in the future. When I move back to the UK and send my money over( which I have earned and paid tax in Australia) will i be taxed on this in the UK?

Thankyou

Thanks for the info.

I live in Australia and my UK licence expires next year. My understanding is if I am not a UK resident I can't by law renew when it expires. If I move back to the UK in the future,can I get a new licence card without resitting the test?

I have the same condition. I only know about it because it showed up on my medical for my PR. It was not an issue for my visa. My GP says it is thin membrane disorder, a benign condition.

I asked if Stat decs would be required. Why the sarcasm?

Hi Paul Thanks, I already have a careless driving offence. If I mention 2 red light light infringements should I expect that to cause character issues- the need for stat decs etc?

I want to answer the question correctly and give the information that is required. I'm trying to find out if infringement notices is something I should include.

For citizenship application it asks about being found guilty of any convictions or offences. Is a police penalty notice for not leaving a licensed premises when required and red light infringements count as being found guilty of an offence? I don't know if I should include them. I know they weren't in court but not sure if I'm guilty of an offence?

People will fail character test from convictions such as Common Assault. Would they actually start deporting people with such convictions? https://www.sbs.com.au/news/plans-to-tighten-character-test-wins-senate-committee-approval-despite-deportation-concerns

Yes they sent me a copy of this recently after I asked. They didn't list the convictions in detail on the form. I've no idea if they sent the Australia police check.

Yes, rammygirl your right that's my concern. Because it said yes to the convictions question and it tells the dates I was in Australia which was exactly a year I suppose I'm just asking if anyone knows if the Case Officer would ask for the police check.

In the application where it asks for details only a vague answer was given, not going into details about the convictions. I've asked the agent and they say everything was declared and they go by the police checks. Just the thought of the police check not being submitted worries me. Because I was there a year you'd hope they got it?

I have PR. I think my immigration agent may have left out information on the application even though I provided all details. I'm wondering, if they left some things out, could they have not sent in my aus PCC as Well? I know on the application the dates I lived there was submitted so the Case Officer would have known I was in Australia for a year and that there was a conviction of some kind.

When applying for a 189 PR visa , do you need to give a police check for a country you have lived in for exactly a year. I've read it is 12 months or more and I've also read over 12 months? Would it be manditory for exactly a year ( Oct 4th to Oct 3rd the following year) Also, this period was while I was on a working holiday visa. Does a police check need provided for Australia regardless of the time spent?

Thanks for the info.

Hi everyone If I apply for the freedom of information, what details are shown? Would it show everything that I have submitted and declared for previous visa applications like driving offences etc?

Can anyone recommend shipping companies they have used? I'd be looking into shipping household items from Melbourne to UK.

Thanks a lot .

Thanks for the quick reply Paul. If I do that,will it still be 5 years from January or will it start from when i get it?
