themaccas Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Read the list of items they are requesting it’s all pretty straight forward, my advice is to send them everything they need and if you’re in doubt then send it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nus Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Hi all, I need some advice. My wife was filling up the online citizenship application form. In the associated family details, while she was filling up her brother's country of current residence, it was asking to select his usual country of residence and it's also saying that "for student visas: the term usual country of residence refers to applicant's home country". He is living in a foreign country for more than one year and holds a student visa of that country. Now what should she fill up? Will she fill up the home country or the foreign country where he is living now? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like there’s a visa/citizenship ombudsman you can complain to either. We are just expected to feel privileged that we will eventually become citizens.

However, despite the Govt encourages migrants become Aussie Citizens, it doesn't mean citizenship application can be reviewed and processed more easily and shorter waiting than PR visa. This rule is so ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Tsao Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 called DIBP again, 5th time, a very nice staff answered with patient, asked all of my demo. info, then told me: please be patient to wait three weeks (it should be end of Nov), if you still not received letter, then call us again to check. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie0719 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Hi all, My timeline is as below: Applied 27/3/2017 Exam date 29/6/2017 (Parramatta) Approval letter ??? Ceremony ???? It's been 130 days since exam. Would I receive the ceremony notification without approval letter? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 (edited) There is a possibility that you can get ceremony notification straight without approval letter, however, it is worthwhile to check by calling immi department. Good luck Edited November 6, 2017 by Sheila 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie0719 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Thanks Sheila I called DIBP 3 times. Last Friday I received an Email from one of their staff members saying sending emails or asking for updates again and again won't speed the processing time. I could tell he was extremely unhappy. Now I am afraid of 'bothering' them any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
