Joseph23 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Hi, During my citizenship application, I submitted my Australian Drivers License as my proof of residential address. However It is expiring in a month's time, what should i do? My application is still "Received". I don't want them to think I uploaded an expired license. Thanks.

You can probably scan it and print a copy once you already have your interview and test, and maybe show your new license as well. You can also bring some utility statements to show your proof of address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My expectations are receive approval letter within 6 weeks and ceremony before next Australia day. Honestly, I don't care about the time. But I wish I can travel overseas during holiday season. Yes, how time files. 5 years ago we shared our 457 timeline, 3 years ago for 186 and now for citizenship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we are going for an 8 days holiday next month and we informed the case officer about it, so I am guessing our ceremony will be Australia day 2019. Let's keep each other posted again, Haha!

AnneOz Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) 6 hours ago, Rorz said: Were they not bothered that you called? My councils website says not to contact them directly as the date is not arranged by them but rather from the Department of Immigration. They just get given a list of the next intake. I called my local council and they were quite rude to me when I inquired if I was on the list for next ceremony. "Once you have been approved and received your letter of approval from the DIBP, you will be put on a 6 month waiting list for a ceremony. Council will receive your details one month prior to your allocated ceremony date and will then contact you at this time. Please do not contact Council prior to receiving your invitation to a ceremony as we are unable to tell you where you sit on the waiting list." Not at all, the ladies were quite helpful actually. This is the first ceremony since May for my council and I don't think our one is a very busy one. I think they get annoyed if you are calling straight after the test and directly about the letter etc. something that does not come from them but from DHA. I knew the invitation letters were to be sent app 1 month before the next ceremony, so that's what I told them and asked I just wanted to check if my name was on the list for the next ceremony. I think that's fair if you are planning a trip you'd want to know and plan accordingly. Edited July 13, 2018 by AnneOz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
