I've recently become eligible to apply for citizenship and noticed I needed police checks from the UK. Do I have to attach them before I submit the application? Or can I attach them at a later date? Hi littlefoot, does your application tell you that you need to submit UK police check? I'm due to submit my application soon and didn't know i would need to have a police check from the uk. I have been on PR since March 2017 and have only been out of Australia twice for 5 weeks each trip. I have been following this forum for my partner - he submitted his citizenship April 2018 with application still waiting to be approved. He completed his test on 03/09/2018.

That's only because I've spent over 90 days in the UK. If you haven't done that, I believe you'll only need AFP checks, which Immigration will sort out directly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariokovic Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Hi guys, I have the test on Monday 25th, would like to know exactly what documents you’ve provided prior your test. Anyone is willing to share his experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirsty160990 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) Partners status is still showing as received - Test completed on 03/09/2018 with 100%. I emailed our local council to see when the next few ceremonies will be and I have been advised 16th March (all have RSVP for that one so no chance of him having the chance to attend that one) then the next one after March isn't until 27th August . The lady was lovely and asked for my partners name to check against her list in case the letter was sent to an incorrect address but nope not on it. Looks like it could be August now if he gets approval now. Edited February 20, 2019 by kirsty160990 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We applied for passports on 7th Feb. We had an email notification on Monday saying that they had been processed and they arrived yesterday.

littlefoot Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 So does anyone know if you can submit police checks after you apply? The system flashes a warning that all docs should be attached before submission, but if this isn't strictly necessary, we'd like to get our applications in today. Police checks are probably about a week away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ence Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 The Victorian seat of Bruce, started pressing Peter Dutton for reasons as to why there were huge delays in the backlog of citizenship applications waiting to be processed. There are nearly 250,000 permanent residents living, working and loving here,” if they are so dangerous, why are they here? Why have they been here for four to 10 years? You can’t just say ‘national security’.

shisman Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Hi All, Just a quick query. I'm planning to apply for citizenship next month. Form 1195 asks for -Transaction Reference Number (the number that you were given when you lodged your online application). Do you get that when you apply online for Citizenship? Or are they asking for what's mentioned in your PR grant notice? And would it remain the same for all family members? (In case it's the former as it's the same for all 4 of us in the Visa grant Letter when the PR was granted) Did you all apply for the Citizenship online from one online account or does it have to be separate for all adults? Many thanks Shisman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
