Attaching documents_Citizenship
 

Hey guys,

So, after 7 years, I have gotten around to lodging a citizenship application :fingerscrossed:. Everything went well, including payment (always does...), but I got stuck at the part where you attach documents to support your application.

The system allowed me to upload only one document. I tried quite a few times, but to no avail. Does anyone know if this will be a problem or can I simply take certified copies of everything when they ask me to come in for the test?

Replies appreciated and many thanks

Regards

Tarun

Hi Tarun

It happened with me as well but don't worry at this stage.

when DIAC will invite you for interview take one photo copy (certified) of each documents you are trying to upload.

In my case, i rang Department and they advised me to bring certified copies of all the relevant documents required (its good idea to keep one set of certified documents in any case they missed it).

At this time they will only check your eligibility and validity of your application and they will check all relevant documents at interview time.

I uploaded all mine (enough for 3 people!) and only one showed. I spoke to the Department and apparently they do get everything that is uploaded, it's just that you only get to see one of the documents on your screen (duh! :blink:). I pointed out that they now had all my documents three times as I had tried over the weekend to reload them a couple of times. Apparently this happens a lot! :eek:

You'd think they'd change the screen, wouldn't you!

Got test on 5th June so all good!

Re: Attaching documents_Citizenship
 

same happened to me too and a few others on here.

Re: Attaching documents_Citizenship
 

Hey, thanks for that. When did you lodge your application?

Re: Attaching documents_Citizenship
 

20th April.

Re: Attaching documents_Citizenship
 

WOWOW:blink: That was quick. Good luck with the test. Does everyone in the family need to sit the test or is it just the adults?

I applied only on Friday last week. Hope mine comes up soon.

Regards

Thanks mate! I feel better. I already have a full set, just need a copy of the utilities notice.

Re: Attaching documents_Citizenship
 

Just the adults. Hubby has DD on his application. I'm on my own. Other two kiddlies were born here and have Aus passports already. Non-citizen children do need to be on the application though if you want them to get citizenship too.

Re: Attaching documents_Citizenship
 

Hey guys, i know timelines are extremely vague, but going off the DIAC site where it says the department will contact you within 10 days, "After your application is received the department will contact you by post or email within 10 working days. You may also be given a date and time for your citizenship appointment at this time", I am wondering if there is something wrong with my application or if I should contact DIAC and tell them I lodged an application on the 18th of May.

My online application status says that application is being further processed, but that is dated 21/5/2012.

Just a little concerned. Should I be or is this okay?

Regards

Re: Attaching documents_Citizenship
 

No harm in calling them. I would after 6 weeks.

Re: Attaching documents_Citizenship
 

check your email spam folder first.

Re: Attaching documents_Citizenship
 

Rang up DIAC today. Operator said someone should have contacted me by now and forwarded my message to case officer.

Went through spam folder, nothing there. Just have to wait I guess.

I keep running :D. Ran the gold coast marathon earlier this month. off to sydney in september.

Re: Attaching documents_Citizenship
 

i called DIAC and the recorded info says it's now taking around 12 weeks to process applications from lodgment to decision.

Re: Attaching documents_Citizenship
 

:confused: Hope they contact me soon. Been 7 weeks without contact :(

Re: Attaching documents_Citizenship
 

I'm the same applied last week may and heard nothing mine was a postal application. What number did you call as no number listed for Brisbane.

Re: Attaching documents_Citizenship
 

DIAC ran me up today and asked me to mail them the 1195 form that I tried uploading, to their Cairns office. Said once they received the document, they'd contact me again for the interview within a few weeks. Woohoo.

Re: Attaching documents_Citizenship
 

I rang the 131 880 number.

Re: Attaching documents_Citizenship
 

Hey Guys.
I need to know that while filling the online forms from link "Complete character assessment particulars for this applicant", on the tracking system the section that asks for previous passports details, the option to enter the passport expiry date is only upto 2012 but my previous passport expiry date in of 2013. I got my new passport in April this year to avoid changing the passport details during the visa process. Can anyone advise what should I write in previous passport expiry date

Re: Attaching documents_Citizenship
 

if online form cannot accomodate your exact details i suggest you use paper application form. it could make your application faster conpared to an online application with erroneous detials.

Re: Attaching documents_Citizenship
 

Passed test this morning 100%

Re: Attaching documents_Citizenship
 

i might try the test without studying :eek:

Re: Attaching documents_Citizenship
 

Hey congrats man! Did they tell you when your ceremony is or do you have to contact the council or does the council contact you?

I've sent the documents to the Cairns office. No word yet from those guys. MY status on the web still says 21/5, application under review

Re: Attaching documents_Citizenship
 

Can you only view the application status online if you applied online.

Have to wait for approval letter which will hopefully be soon.

Re: Attaching documents_Citizenship
 

The Council will be passed your details by DIAC and they will contact you.

Re: Attaching documents_Citizenship
 

Still Waiting................

Re: Attaching documents_Citizenship
 

You've only been waiting for two weeks! Chill! :blink:;)

Re: Attaching documents_Citizenship
 

I got my call today for the test. Been asked to come in on the 8th next week. Woohoo. I got a call a couple of weeks ago saying processing for regional areas is slower than cities. Don't know why or how that makes a difference. Anyway, test is on. Time to prepare. I'm relieved big time. :D

Re: Attaching documents_Citizenship
 

Good Luck
