citizenship documents

Hi All,

I'm eligible to apply for citizenship and can't decide from reading the website whether I need to get police checks done. I got the checks (UK and Aus) for my spouse visa, and haven't left...

Re: points on licence

I'm pretty sure it's only if you were convicted by a court that you have to declare. I had six points but my PCC came back clear.

Re: Partner temporary visa, what are the consequences if I sponsor my girlfriend?

I would also have a really good look at the DIAC site so you know exactly what you're going to have to do to get the visa - what documents and evidence. Then you'll have a better grasp of whether...

Re: Partner temporary visa, what are the consequences if I sponsor my girlfriend?

Re: Citizenship Application Processing times - Brisbane

Thanks for the replies. I couldn't decide from reading the DIAC page but if there are people who've not had to get PCCs I may risk it.

Then again... there's a good financial reason why I'd like to...

Re: Citizenship Application Processing times - Brisbane

I'll soon be eligible for citizenship. I haven't left Aus since entering with my spouse 309 visa nearly four years ago.

Does anyone know if I still have to submit police certificates?

Thanks

Re: Partner Visa - Insufficient Evidence - Help!

You could try to say more with some photos. Eight or so photos with captions, dates and locations can make all the difference. The general impression of your application is very important.

Re: 2nd stage spouse visa

Yes, the 2 year will still apply, and you automatically apply for the PR at the same time as the temp visa so no new application fee - just that you have to send in the new documents after the two...

Re: De facto second stage but unemployed

Hey, lots of people do contracts and have breaks in between. There's not so much job security these days. Maybe tell them you're a 'consultant'.. in between contracts.

Re: What's the origin of this word / phrase?

I always thought it was Styx, too.

When people said "oh they live right out in the sticks" I thought I was cultured, knowing it was Styx, not sticks.
