Well we had our citizenship interview today and we were approved. Just got to wait for the letter now and notification of our ceremony. We were so nervous it was unbelievable. Fortunately, the guy let us do half of the rights and responsibilites each which was a relief as there was one that for some reason I could not remember.

I've said it to H but will say again Congratulations Mand8002 and family! So are you all approved, or would K & G need to do their time too?

Which one did you not remember? JTL and I did half and half too, but we thought it was pretty relaxing.

It feels great. Looking forward to the ceremony now. Looks like it might be on Australia Day.

We had the interview, not sure what the test will be like if and when it comes in.

Kirsty and Jemma might not have to do the test, as the guy said that once Anthony has been here 2 years on his citizenship they can apply for their citizenship by descent. I actually thought that if you had citizenship by descent (as Anthony has) this was not possible, but I will look into it.
I was struggling to remember the one about appointment to public office, as we thought you had to know them word for word, which wasn't the case anyway.

Do you have to recite the rights and responsibilities?

We're applying online Monday, hopefully we wont have to do the test as I know sod all about Australia.

The guy said that you did not have to learn them word for word but had to have an understanding of what they were. We learnt them word for word anyhow.

Congrats. I think things are changing now with the interview. It is going to be questions on a computer. Not sure what i prefer.

I already told you you have to know them, but not parrot fashion..
Parrot = a bird you will find in Australia.

Where's Australia?
