LouDYorkie Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Hi Guys Starting the process of applying for Citizenship.. Can anyone please tell me at what stage I should apply for my UK police clearance certificate? (As I spent a bit of time in the UK) Should I apply for it now and upload it with my online application? Or do I need to wait for immigration to tell me to get it at a particular stage in the process? i assume that uploading the police clearance online is the correct way to provide this clearance? Thanks in advanceAs I understand it, you will be asked at some point in the process-no point doing it in advance as you don’t know how long the processing times will be. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Wow, congratulations. They have remembered NT, I hope it continues. Since you were invited for just two weeks of application, you can still be lucky to take part in Australia Day ceremony. The most important thing now is to do the interview and get approved before you can know if you will be included in the upcoming ceremony.

Thanks for clarifying this. Good luck with your application! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the exact steps but should be somewhere online. Where you can find the information on how to get your travel records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie129 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Hi guys I can not find my expired passport to show proof of first entry into Australia. Is this proof really required to show them? Surely they would see when I first made entry in their system? All I have is the original expired 457 visa grant notification. The expired passport would have only had the date of entry stamped on it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should fill the form and send it with proof of your identity (i.e driver licence) to request.movement@homeaffairs.gov.au. It will take DoHA 14 business days (which equates to 3 calendar weeks) to get back to you with your movement record. The movement record that DoHA will send to you will be a PDF file that looks like the attached screenshot. It will have all of your arrivals and departures to and from Australia within the time range that you specify in form 1359. I submitted form 1359 twice in the past, and in both occasions I got my movement record in the 14th business days after I submitted the form. So I suggest you fill and send the form with your ID ASAP since your appointment is in 4 weeks. Edited November 16, 2019 by Milano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
