LouDYorkie Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 It's frustrating to see people applying this year and already having been approved. I don't understand why they're not just processed in order. I thought mine was a pretty straight forward case. Great that you've been approved. When's your ceremony?Haha-not heard about a ceremony yet... I don’t expect it any time this year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KazBaker Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 4 hours ago, LAG said: Hi KazBaker, Yes children born to PR parents are citizens. I know this firsthand, my daughter was born after I got PR. She already has her citizenship certificate and passport. Info here https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/citizenship/certificate/get-a-certificate#Eligibility The application process is very easy and quick. I got the certificate within a couple of days. With that you can then apply for a passport if that is what you need. The question is if you need to update your citizenship application after your son is born? Maybe call the department and check this with them. Cheers. Dear LAG, Thanks for your valuable information. should i apply the “Evidence of citizenship” once baby is born with the birth certificate? thanks cheers !

Hi, yes you apply after the baby is born and you have the birth certificate. But that certificate I think is only needed for the passport. So you don't need to rush, unless you are planning to get a passport for your son. Things like medicare and so on can be done with the birth certificate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Melbourne based applicants seem to be getting test invites as early as 2-3 months. Most applicants from other states and regional areas are still waiting on average around 7-9 months to receive a test invite. Although test dates are usually scheduled many months in the future, Melbourne applicants have the benefit of faster processing since they are receiving faster test invites and can try to prepone their test to a much earlier date.

Georgiegie Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Hi everyone, I have a question regarding my online citizenship application. If you could help me out, I'd be much obliged. Which occupation should I list under "Occupation (ANZSCO)": my current one (I am a full-time STUDENT receiving Centrelink Ausstudy allowance) OR the one that got assessed for my PR (EXTERNAL AUDITOR). I worked for 3 years in corporate finance/accounting before deciding to change career direction and going back to uni. Thanks heaps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see a reason to put your previous one as there's nothing riding on you still being in the job you got PR on, especially 3 years later. You're allowed to be a full time student, aren't you? I'll let others chime in of course! Edited October 22, 2019 by millski88 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interview and test are just part of the assessment process, not necessarily the last steps on the process. Usually after the interview case officers request a police clearance from the Australian Federal Police (they do that, you don't need to do anything). Maybe in your case they are just waiting for that. Hopefully the application gets approved soon! cheers. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
