Jame Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) 7 hours ago, GUS said: Hi guys .... my first time here. Does anyone know who is responsible for analyzing the citizenship application? Is the local council (Sunshine Coast in my case) or the department of immigration? I have applied for citizenship in April 2019 and haven't received anything from them yet. A friend of mine applied in September and everything happened so fast to him that his ceremony is on Friday 14/03. I have applied with my wife and we selected the option to have our ceremony together, so I don't know if this could be the reason why is taking so long. Thanks! I also applied in april 2019 after waiting long time I submitted FOI 5 days back and got my test invitations next day Edited February 11, 2020 by Jame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigemup Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Hi guys, If I have visited the UK as a visitor and tourist on multiple occasions with a cumulative total of ~ 90 days, what is the process, in order to get a PCC. The reason I am asking is because when I checked it, it is asking for documents and details such as last known address in UK and endorser and other information which I would think only a person who has lived there rather than visited would have. Also, please confirm if this is the correct website to apply: https://www.acro.police.uk/Police-Certificates-Online Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hex Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Hey guys Possibly a "noob" question here but I'll rather be safe than sorry. I have previously mentioned that I got my son a new updated passport (even though his current one is still valid) as it's expiring at the end of the year and getting a passport from S.A is a mission (to say the least). Now, I want to update the passport details but wanted to confirm that this is done on the immi page, under the finalized PR application right? - I'm assuming then, that would mean in time the PR would be attached to both his old and new passport? Just wanting to make sure I update the right stuff here and being "finalized", wanted to make sure my thinking was correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUS Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 On 11/02/2020 at 11:49, Indianinoz said: If you scroll a few pages back on this thread, you will notice that there are ways to find out what your application is doing. One option is filing FOI(Freedom of Information) which specifies where exactly application is(like which stage). Another option is contact a specific MP based in Canberra(from memory his name is Greg Hunt but not sure). Based on 2019 processing times, 10 months for a non NSW applicant is definitely on the higher side of the average. If I were you, I'd probably go for the FOI and take it from there. Did you go overseas after application? If yes, how many trips and how long? This has resulted in delays for some. Appreciate your reply mate. I will definitely go for the FOI then - I didn't know about this option. And I haven't left the country after applying for the citizenship. Cheers.

insiya1008 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Hello everyone, I have just become eligible to apply for my citizenship. Does anyone know what evidence documents are required to prove a name change after marriage, on the citizenship application? I am planning to take my husbands name on my Aussie passport, but not sure if I need to change it on my origin country's passport first. Thank you.

Thank you. @insiya1008 For me, I was told we could just use the marriage certificate (as it contains the maiden and new last name(s)).
