Give dates as best as you can remember of all travel outside Aus for the last 10 years. They are trying to establish if you will require a police check from other countries (dependent on the time you have spent there). Put your current occupation. Yes you are resident of Australia. Some questions do seem repetitive but are straightforward, just answer them honestly . thank you . Will do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, just enter the name. No ANZSCO code needed. 3. Only Australia if Australia is your only country of residence. 4. If you've never been to any other countries apart from Australia, all you need to add is your home country. For your home country, choose 'Other' and then clarify it is your home country. That easy. Thank You for resolving my concerns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like Declaration of Service and if you or anyone in your family is not in govt service which can be conflict of interest, then it will be good.

Your June application shouldn’t be far off now. it looks like from application to test invite, about a year, then approval to ceremony another 6 month. Hopefully they are doing catching up, so it will move a bit faster. Hey updating ! got the invite for test it’s on Saturday. Just a quick question with all the important names and dates in our common bond do they actually ask those in the test ? Also the three form of IDs my husband will carry is his passport, drivers license and NICOP and his PR letter. Is that all ? Please reply soon thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmbop Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Hi there, Is there still a spreadsheet kept of people's timelines? I seem to remember there was a google doc, or maybe that was just for PR? I'm trying to get a good idea of waiting time from test to ceremony in NSW right now. I understand it's between 3-6 months but would love to hear from others. Thanks!

SunMoon Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Hi Guys, I applied for citizenship in January 2020, however, left to overseas soon after and returned to Australia a few days ago. Have not heard back from immigration - the status is received. Please advise what I can do to revive the application. Can FOI help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aayush Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 On the application, where it asks for siblings, how do I mention sister in law? There is no option for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sibling is a brother or sister. An in-law is not a sibling. Just like your mother in law is not your parent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would maybe update an address or some other information to start with, that might trigger it and start it moving again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
