What happens at the end of the 5 years
My brother went for his citizenship the other day and was turned down. Apparently he is being investigated for something he didn't do (it's all to do with a car he sold to his cousin when he was first over there and something happened when he was back in the UK blah blah blah). But basically his wife got her citizenship and the two boys and him didn't. If he doesn't get his citizenship (though he should, 'cos he's done nothing wrong) what happens at the end of the 5 years. He went on a 136 skilled independant about 3 years ago (although he came back to the Uk for 10/12 months.
I'm pretty sure they don't kick people out but where would he stand legally.

Re: What happens at the end of the 5 years
hi, i think if he is in uk now he may be buggered, but if he is in australia and doesnt want to leave he will be fine i thionk, unless he want to be out of oz for a long while(dont know set time limit) as you need a RRV (residents return visa).
I think this is the way, but i dont know for sure.

i was told that a permanent resident visa was exactly that PERMANENT.
You do not have to apply for citizenship, it just makes it easier if tyou want to be a =way from oz without applying for the RRV every time.

People refused citizenship on character grounds run the risk of having their PR visas cancelled.
What exactly do you mean by "turned down"? It's not at all unusual for applications to be delayed a little if they have to investigate it more closely, such as if you share a name with someone who has a criminal record. However if he has been *refused* he will have been advised of this in writing and should seek urgent professional assistance.
As for his wife, she doesn't 'get' her citizenship until she attends a citizenship ceremony. As for the children, they must have been included on his citizenship application rather than hers - if for some reason he never becomes a citizen, the wife can apply for the children separately once she is a citizen.

Going on what you say I would assume he has been delayed until the incident is fully investigated. I'll post more when I know.
