Partner Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Hello members! Now that I'm eligible to apply for an Australian citizenship, I downloaded the application form from the website https://www.auimmigration.net/ by paying a fee of $160. I've just realized that I could've filled the application directly from my immi account. Have I made a grave mistake? Has anyone done the same? If I continue to fill my application through https://www.auimmigration.net/, how much remaining amount do I have to pay? And if I start a new application through my immi account what's the cost? Would highly appreciate quick response! TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouDYorkie Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 The current fee is shown on the immi websitehttps://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/citizenship/become-a-citizen/permanent-residentCurrent cost is $285. I don’t know how much additional you will have to pay to submit CIA that company as I did it directly. [emoji848] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millski88 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 The website you listed looks like an online migration agent of sorts. You could continue that route if you wanted, but it's not the official immigration website. Depending on what route you need to take for your citizenship, it's not often a complex application and can likely be organised yourself without the need to pay an agent. Just my 2 cents.

Partner Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 I did some more research and turns out that website is a scam. There goes my money! And all the time it took to fill the application over and over! Hope nobody else falls for this! *smh* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millski88 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Ah how annoying! You can apply online via Immi Account, or if you want to use the paper form (or preview the requirements before starting an online application), then it's form 1300T: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/form-listing/forms/1300t.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it could be identity theft and not just the money you lose [emoji45]I hope you have better luck in applying directly for your Citizenship.
