Good luck for your citizenship interview (although I'm sure you won't need it)

So no worries, the only thing to watch out for is if you get an incredibly rude person doing the ticking like we had.

if it is so bad here, then why dont you go back? what is the point of whining and telling everyone how crap the weather is when you would obviously prefer living in battered britainQUOTE]

Re: I hate.............
I'm not sure if all citizenship interviews go like ours did, but if they do there is nothing to worry about. ITS NOT an interview. All it was was a rubber stamping excercise, the 'interviewer' goes through the application form you sent in, item by item and just ticks boxes on another form they have. When it gets to things like passport, birth certificate they just check your copy is a copy of the original and tick a box. No questions asked, no interview, nothing. A big anticlimax only made more interesting by the fact I had brushed up on Australian history etc before hand just in case I needed it.
So no worries, the only thing to watch out for is if you get an incredibly rude person doing the ticking like we had.

How long after that does it take to get certificate.
I want to apply to work at centrelink but you have to have citizenship.

Yes, but that's the here and now and not a permanent way of life. Fires, droughts, cyclones etc. are a regular part of life in Oz.

Re: I hate.............
Really? I must have missed hearing about the cyclones that regularly pass through Perth. Never realised that bush fires threaten the population on a regular basis either.
And is the drought so bad in Perth that no water comes out of the taps? Funny that that passed me by, too.
