I don't find my 2 year old kid's name in the interview invite. Is that how it is?
 
Received my citizenship interview letter today. It has been scheduled for 28-November. Can I reschedule it to an earlier date? Only earlier date available is tomorrow :) I am not sure if 1 day is enough to study the test material and prepare. Any suggestions?
Can you tell how is this interview letter received.. is it by email or post?
 
There should be a question before this particular question which would help you understand what previous application it is referring to.
Thanks for your reply.
The previous question I feel like is a bit unrelated, but this is the previous question: Has this applicant entered or departed Australia since July 1990? Yes, No if yes the second question appears, if No doesn't appear.

Please can anyone who submitted their citizenship applicaiton helping me to understand it?

Thanks!
 
Never looked into it but is it something I can study in a few hours?
It is not complex. it's more to do with Australia's History, remembering important dates, how the government works and your duties/obligations as a citizen. Most of this stuff is basic but it is better not to rush it. I would say you could go through everything in 1-2 days time.

Yes. Dependent kids name don't reflect in the interview invite letter but you do have to carry original documents for them at the time of interview.

There is a specific questions which asks you to enter your PR visa details, date to first arrival etc., so I don't think that particular question "Does this applicant have the details of their previous application? " is asking for PR visa details. It is asking you to enter previous citizenship details and since this is your first time applying for citizenship, you should select 'No' to this question.
 
Cleared the Citizenship test. So I guess 1 day was enough to prepare :)

Yes there is a question asks me to enter the first arrival date only but no other information I can enter, also there is no other questions ask me to enter my PR visa, this is the only question I have "Does this applicant have the details of their previous application?" if I choose 'Yes', there is another option appear underneath it to enter one of the 3 chooses.
1) Application No
2) TRN
3) Visa Grant Number

If I choose "Visa Grant Number" then I can enter my visa grant number.

I think this is the question you mentioned to enter my PR visa details.

What do you think?

Thanks,

Yes you would need to enter your PR visa details there.
 
So I have to choose 'Yes' for that question and then choose "Visa Grant Number" option to be able to enter the visa Grant Number, is that correct?

Thanks.
Yes, you would answer 'Yes' to the question which says about you entering or departing AU since 1990. Then select 'Yes' again to the question which asks about details of previous application and enter your PR visa grant details.
 
Got a really noob question!

I got into Australia in August 2018 (wife joining me in January 2019) and received PR at the beginning of October 2020. As per the current rules, when will I be eligible to apply for Australian citizenship? I am a bit confused with what I have seen on the internet and would really appreciate it if someone can clarify my question. Thanks in advance! :)

You will need to have lived for at least 4 years in Australia so the earliest you would be eligible is August 2022 and your wife in January 2023

Cheers
