Just had a quick look and they've changed the website since I did it. Maybe they're having teething problems with a new system.
Call the helpline and give em what for.

Don't apply for citizenship on line. It takes ages.
Fill in the forms and take them in to your local DIMIA office, if you have the supporting documentation you could get the interview then and there.

Hi
Out of interest, how far in advance can you fill in the forms. Say if your 2 years was up in August 06, could you complete & send off the forms 2-3 weeks before your date???
Thanks in advance
Also when is the new law going through Parliment (it's all gone quiet!!!!) & if you ring the helpline, they are none the wiser

You can call up and book yourinterview then either apply online (if you can get it to work) or fill in the forms and take them with you, there is no need to wait for them to contact you to tell you to book your appointment, there is usually a while to wait for an appointment anyway.

Thanks for that, no 2 years in January...so nearly there.
Sorry did not contact you on hol's, but for one week Callum did football clinic, & then other week zoomed by.
So hopefully the 2 years will still apply to us then, even if we go out of the country for 16 days. We've sort out worked it out that our 2 years will be up 2 days after Australian day (when they want to bring in the new law) & was afraid we will miss out by 2 days!!!!!
