Hi All - 

Do we know whether Melbourne City Council is currently doing virtual ceremonies? I hear Melbourne City Council is canceling the in-person ceremonies but have not heard anything about online virtual ceremonies. 

Most of the councils in NSW seem to be doing virtual ceremonies and things seems to be moving much faster.

Is there a way to confirm or request that Melbourne City Council supports virtual ceremonies given the lockdowns are likely going to continue for some time?

Thank you.

Hello everyone - 

Would appreciate some guidance on the test. Please see my questions below.

1. How long does it take to prepare for the test?

2. I will learn the anthem before the ceremony. Do we need to memorise the anthem for the test?

3. Are the sample questions given at the end of the booklet representative? Are there any other reliable practice tests available online?

Thank you

Hi-

We applied last july for citizenship and have now received interview and test date in July 2021. I started a new job in March. Do I need to go and upload anything on my immiaccount application page? Should I just upload a short letter and employment contract? Or is there any other form or process I need to use?

Thank you so much

Hello All,

I am applying for my citizenship. My kids are part of my application while my husband has applied separately under the same immiaccount. I have provided my TRN to my husband's application and vice versa so that the applications are linked.  While uploading documents to my application, the document section of my application is asking for evidence of custody, evidence of adoption and evidence of international surrogacy for the kids. Given that they are not adopted and husband is applying at the same time, what do I need to do for these documents?

Thank you for your help.

Hi Lin,

Any individual over 16 years old need to apply separately. Below 16 years can apply with any parents. Your husband can apply a new application through same immi account. In some stage of your application it will ask your husband TRN and your TRN with his application so that it merges together prior to sit for citizenship test and interview and citizenship ceremony together with whole family. 

-your apply with kids

-husband apply alone

Hope it helps

Thank you so much

Hello All -

I just opened my immi account and created my citizenship application along with details of my kids. Still need to upload the documents. Can you please give me some guidance on how I can include my husband in the application? We are all eligible to apply now but the application only asked for only the children's' details. We would all like to apply together but I do not see any instructions or guidance on how to do that. Does my husband need a create a new application under my immi account and in that case how do we link his application to mine?

Really appreciate some guidance from folks here who have already gone through this process. It sounds simple but seems I am stuck and cannot figure out what to do. 

Thank you and stay safe.
