Indianinoz Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Hello, A baby was born to parents (both of whom were Permanent Residents of Australia) at the time of his birth. The baby was born overseas in India. The baby's Child PR Visa subclass 101 was applied within 2 months of his birth. Now the entire family has returned to Australia. The parents have, since then, become Australian Citizens. What is the criteria for citizenship of the baby? a) Can the baby's parents apply for Citizenship for the baby directly or should he become get the Visa 101 grant first and then apply for Citizenship? b) If the family goes overseas for a few years, can the baby apply for Citizenship from overseas? In other words, will the baby's entire Citizenship process that includes Application, processing and grant along with Passport and OCI(Overseas Citizenship of India) card happen overseas or will it get stuck as the baby is not in Australia at any stage? c) What is the time line for baby's Citizenship application? As I understand it will be a Citizenship by conferral. But in baby's case, considering he is less than 1 years old, there will not be any citizenship test/interview, ceremony, police checks etc. So the process should be far quicker than an adult. But any estimated timeline? Also, anything that the parents need to keep in mind or beware of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
