Re: ministerial discretion s22.9

my wife got her citizenship through ministerial discretion. we have been living in the U.S. for sometime. I think it boils down to WHY you are overseas + how long you have already spent in Australia....

Re: Visa Refused for my Spouse! :(

I think this has more to do with having no 'history' in case of arranged marriage.

Of course these days no one gets married without any prior contact whatsoever. In arranged marriage, usually...

Re: Citizenship Application - Visa Breaks

I agree with DIAC's assessment. If you had no valid visa & you were outside Australia at that time, where does the concept of "residency" apply?

That means anyone who has obtained a tourist visa...

Re: Currently you do not meet the invited score:(

If I remember correctly, I was in a similar situation almost 10 years back. In fact ACS assessment came back as "unsuitable for migration". Then I asked George to be my agent. Now I am a citizen :-) ...

Re: Aussie Citizenship eligibility - do overseas holidays count?

You are allowed a total of 1 year out of the 4 to be out of the country.

So if you haven't been out of the country for a total of 365 days, then this 1 week in hong kong is within the 365 day...

Not if you aren't a sports person or working in an oil rig.

So if you are not an athlete or an oil rig worker they...

Re: Who is qualified to certify documents in India for PASA?
