Mrshubs Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Hello everyone , I have 2 questions regarding my citizenship application if anyone can help. 1. I have added my newborn in children section of the application. I have applied for the birth certificate though but i haven’t applied for citizenship certificate yet. Baby is not the citizen of any county in papers ( no proof) . Should I apply and wait for his citizenship certificate first and then apply for my citizenship application or should I declare the child as Australian citizen as being the child of PR/citizen parent or just leave blank those info? 2. Filling in information for my parents, as one of my parent has passed away long time ago. There is no option to put his info as “deceased” however there is about his citizenship status as how did he acquired his citizenship overseas? And I choose “by birth” So should I choose the next option of ‘how/when did it ended’ as his date of passing or just leave it blank? thanks a million in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njsam Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Hi all, I got a question regarding my citizenship application. I am applied on 24 of April 2021, I still have not heard anything from the department of home affairs. Is that normal? As I can see that some people applied after me and the got their test invitations already. I have applied from Sydney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixology Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Nope. Victoria is by far the worst state of Australia ever since Corona came. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixology Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 4 minutes ago, Canadian2 said: When did you apply? I applied in August 21. But based on my immi tracker, last person who was processed in Victoria applied in September 2020. So still a long way to go. After lockdown ended, NSW has already started the application processing. Rest of the states were always doing great. Victoria on the other hand has a backlog of year and a half and are not working at all since most recent lockdown started few months ago.
