Citizenship by Descent
We have applied for our daughter to receive her Citizenship by Descent papers so that we can then apply for her Australian Passport. Can anyone tell me how long it takes for the descent papers to be granted please.
These papers were sent into the London Office. We enclosed a 'Special Delivery prepaid envelope' and are just waiting now. We can't lodge for my husbands Australian Passport or our daughters passport until these papers are back. We will then get the Australian passports for both and then we can get on with applying for my migration - down the spouse migration route.

We did our girls' last year and it took under a fortnight. Then the application for their passports took about another fortnight I think. Certainly wasn't long.

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. Should be anyday now then! I'm so anxious to get this first hurdle out of the way that every day I nearly accost the postman!!! Don't want that to go down on the police checks now do I?!?!?
Let's hope our daughters papers come through soon.
