Coco M Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Hi poms and non-poms, We are applying for citizenship after arriving on a 457 followed by PR on 186. Do we need to provide proof of entry? Surely they know that from VEVO? We don't have the passports with the stamp anymore. Thanks for your help. Coco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickyplum Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 They specifically ask for evidence of when you first arrived in Australia - and also they ask you to bring it with you to the test/interview (it's a bullet point in the interview invite letter). Do you have your old passport somewhere? I scanned the stamp on the page that was given when I visited to activate my visa. I have no idea if they will want to see if or not, but I will have it ready anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rammygirl Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I do find it annoying that they ask for evidence of this. They already have this information in their system and I hardly ever get my passport stamped anymore. Im actually not sure you will be asked for it. I wasn’t at interview and my husband didn’t have a stamp in his passport (I actually did probably because the e system wouldn’t work for me). I just uploaded the passport he used for entry. We both have our citizenship. Sometimes the info on the application system doesn’t keep pace. It said for many months after they started accepting simple colour scans of evidence (for skilled visas) that you MUST get documents notified.

Since (at least since they have been scanning passports at entry) they have the info, what ask again. I will get the form 1359 done and show them the email if they ask.
