Hi Sina123, What current residential address proof did you take with you? Edited December 5, 2020 by tharru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sina123 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Just your driver license will suffice showing your address. Else utility bill or bank statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have not the passport on which we travelled first time in 2015. What are its alternate options to show at the time of interview? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bips22 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I was going through the Citizenship Application requirements : Do I have to get the Police check done before and submit it along with the application or it is required later and asked by an officer ?

gmx Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Here are two statistical documents that might be useful to people to refer that shows the number of applications, how many processed and what is in the queue: https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/foi/files/2020/fa-201000456-document-released.PDF https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/foi/files/2020/fa-200701402-document-released.PDF After March 2020 it seems like there has been a massive dropoff in approvals which you'd expect, but this saw a big increase in September 2020. Unfortunately, this information is mostly irrelevant as the queue is state/office based not national. I have submitted an FOI request for "FA 20/10/00456" to be broken down at state/office level to provide some transparency and will post in this group if I am provided this information.
