tech123 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 14 hours ago, leanie said: The other info they wanted was my kids expired passports that we had originally applied with (just scanned and added them to the online application), Medicare card and for me to confirm my name as on some documents my middle name is there but it's not on my passport etc. I think the reason my application took so long is because the regional WA dept seems to be very slow, must be very busy. Thanks for the reply. My wife has been contacted as well for her middle name; however, they stated that she does not need to reply to their email if she is happy that they will include it in her application. My kids application has been finalised in my immiaccount,, just me and my wife are waiting for the citizenship test. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pod Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Hey, Did anyone who applied with a spouse get an email before their spouse? My test appointment email came through today but my husband (who also has the kids applying under him) hasn't received anything yet? I just wondered what anyone had experienced regarding the time difference between spouse applications receiving an appointment. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks hey I`ve seen many applicants experienced the same situation, the DIBP send out e-mails for test/interview according to each applicant`s case, this means even if you both made the citizenship applications at the same time you both may receive e-mails with different dates this is due, as I said, the DIPB will look at each application alone and with different approach. but still, you may select to attend the same ceremony. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Yep, both applications were submitted together, test e-mails came at the same time but had different test dates .... but approvals letters came almost week apart Its quite normal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Check the Junk/spam folder in your husband`s e-mail , he may receive his test e-mail in it , this is what happened to many applicants, including me, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pod Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Thank you both for replying. It's good to know that it's normal. Fingers crossed his test date comes through soon or it'll just be the dog (he's the only one in our house with Australian citizenship so far!) and me living in Oz together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moven Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 We have completed the test in March and awaiting the ceremony. We are going to Europe next month and just wondering if I am correct that our visas(PR) are still valid until we have attended the ceremony? In other words no return visas to be applied for etc. I will contact the dept to confirm but anyone got a quick answer? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Hey In the approval letter, in case you already received it, your PR visa will cease when you attend the ceremony and have your citizenship certificate, which means till the ceremony and you are on PR visa, Re-entry to Australia while you are on PR visa will not be an issue at all.

You'll have to inform the department about travel though, your absence from Australia might delay the process too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muttley Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 So at the moment DIBP still not taking calls / or im not getting through at least. Have moved address since applied (still same council), anyone know how else I can notify them? Is there an email address or way to do it through my immi account? Cheers!

tech123 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Can anyone with dependents reply to my question please - I want to know, when DIBP started to look/process your citizenship application, will the attachments for the application of your dependents (i.e. your children) disappear? My kids' attachments are gone. I might call DIBP just to make sure that they have received those attachments. I don't want this to be the cause of delay for my application. Thanks.
