Re: URGET HELP REQUIRED
OK
I went back to UK on my UK passport - and I didn't realise that my Perm visa had been cancelled as my citizenship ceremony had taken place.
I was stopped at Sydney airport and asked if I had become a citizen. I replied yes why? because your visa has been cancelled. I was asked to produce my Oz passport - which I had applied for but didn't have with me as it came after I had departed.
I was let through after they did a little bit of checking up - no dramas

Re: URGET HELP REQUIRED
Proof of Citizenship (papers) or an ID number is normally sufficient in these circumstances or calling Immigration and informing them of your flight details (re-entry) and ID and that will suffice also - get a name and reference number if you can.
Pollyana : wanted to say how transparent and balanced your interview came across - I thought you were excellent and very honest in your responses to the questions, which gave a great perspective on the perception when moving to Australia - well done !
