Bad luck for Melbourne people as Perth still doing test even though they are in 5 tough lockdown lol. Melbourne -> Most liveable city but "not" at all if you want to apply for Citizenship here. In a nutshell: "No" to little work done by Melbourne DHA for people waiting here for sooo long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melbournian Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 One day, It will be alright. I was curious, how many hours/days before the test, Can we reschedule (postpone/prepone) the test ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried different websites but would like to ask for your advices for the best one. Is it necessary to purchase $29 to practice the test on AustralianCitizenshipSupport.com? Anyone tried this one yet? As we are not allowed to fail any of the 5 questions about the common bond so I am a bit scared. Thank you I did all the tests that I could find online - and of course read through Our Common Bond several times a well. The extra questions are about Australia Values and are very easy/obvious to answer. There's no need to bother paying for tests when there are so many online and the answers are all in the booklet anyway! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckb Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 21 hours ago, Melbournian said: Yes. The website is intelligent in backend and will "Pop Up SECTION" in "attach Page " section - all relevant documents. If you fill in correct details for the IN/OUT travel locations, it will ask you for all required foreign country PCC. Australian Police check is done by department itself. Usually you have to provide PCC for countries you visit after PR (for 90 days - including your home country) Is this from when it was granted or when it was activated? Eg my visa was granted in July 2016 but didn’t arrive in Aus until 2017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking to relocate too, too much depression under Dan. They said if you change the address or driving license, just update in Immi and wait :). You can call and double check. Hello everyone! I just received invitation to sit my test! Please advise me how can I bring that appointment forward? I remember I read here some people were able to bring it sooner, they have asked me to sit my test march 2, I'm heavily pregnant and not sure if I'll make it til then! I don't want to risk not sitting my test if baby comes early. I applied for citizenship March 2020, in Victoria. Recently moved to QLD, I updated my address in December and received my test appointment today for March 2nd 2021 in Brisbane. IM SO EXCITED! thanks!!
