Hi .

I’m Australian citizen by application and once I became an Australian citizen immediately I came to USA on E3 in 2007, since then I’m working here with extending my E3 visa till now I have extended for 4 times as it is only for 2 years. My 1st question is as an Australian citizen for how I long I can be out of country without returning back? Is there any time limit like I can’t be out of country for X number of years?

If I don’t return to Australia for so long will it have any effect on my citizenship?

Citizenship is for life.

You will though require an Australian passport to travel to Aus.

....although judging by several recent threads I'm beginning to think its actually just to allow for E3 applications!......

Or to bugger off home to UK

Tut tut. You're all very naughty

When it comes to the point that one gets an email from a poster (not one in this thread) asking how to get citizenship fast as they want an E3.............. I either or get naughty!

spouse of scouse

Naughty is best, you don't get a headache with naughty. Although I suppose that very much depends on the type of naughtiness!

Mrs Scouse!!! I am both shocked and appalled!

I blame Bill, I was such a quiet little mouse before I met him

He sounds like fun.
