Rameshwar Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Hi guys, Please kindly help me out. I applied my citizenship on 10 March 2018 and got email today for additional information. They asked for following “Please provide an official additional Australian Government-issued identity document. For example, Driver licence, Proof of Age card, Centrelink card, Medicare card.” I have attached my Medicare as I don’t have any other document. I attached it in additional documentation section in my immi account? Is that right? Or should I attach it in other section? Please help. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArsalanAhmad Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 9 hours ago, Rameshwar said: For example, Driver licence, Proof of Age card, Centrelink card, Medicare card.” You can go to government authority which issues Proof of Age if you do not have any document which proves your address with name then they will give you a form and then verify it from your bank. Then again go to the government authority and they will send you Proof of Age in couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, if you did give the medicare card and the TFN letter from the ATO it gives them less reason to ask for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirsty160990 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) Hi All, I have been following this forum as my Partner lodged his Citizenship. His details are: lodged online 19/04/2018, Test on 03/09/2018 and still waiting for approval. I have a question for mine which i plan to lodge in January/ February 2019. My travel dates are: 12/12/2012 - 26/01/2013 (417 Visa) 08/12/2013 - 08/10/2015 (457 visa) 05/12/2016 - 12/01/2017 (457 visa) 05/12/2017 - 12/01/2018 (PR) 07/12/2018 - 11/01/2019 (PR) I have used the residency calculator and it show I'am eligible to apply from 23/01/2019. Which is great but I don't know how this date works out as i was out of the country from 08/12/2013 - 08/10/2015. Are they taking into my account my previous years to get this date as technically 4 years from 23/01/2019 would be 23/01/2015 but that was during my time away from Australia. Just scared in case i submit in January that it will be refused even though the calculator says eligible. I initially thought i wouldn't be able to submit for citizenship until 08/10/2019 as that would be my 4 years since i entered Australia again. Our PR was granted on 19/03/2017.
