Hello Everyone,
I am trying to get some expert advice on my situation. I am a permanent resident and in Australia for just over 4 years. I am eligible to apply for Australian Citizenship and have already done so. I have few traffic offences under my belt and would like to know if it can be a problem with the application. Following are the time lines,
1. Traffic Offence - Over-speeding by 10 KMPH- VIC - 10 Jan 2018. Fine paid to VIC Fines, waiting for demerit to be awarded by RMS. I received this fine after 3 months i.e. 10 Apr 2018 as I was driving hire car.
2. Citizenship Application - Applied on 17 Apr 2018 and did not declare the above offence in the application.
I might get another ticket on the same VIC route I travelled on 28 Mar 2018. Let's say if it comes through by end of June. I will then have 2 traffic offences both undeclared in the application. I do not have any other adverse traffic offence record apart from the above.
Questions,
1. Will the above affect my Citizenship application?
2. Do I need to declare them in the application?
3. What happens if the license gets suspended due to demerit points and I just accept the suspension without going to court or RMS for good behavior bond, Do I still need to declare it?
4. Will serving the license suspension affect the Citizenship application?
There are no other traffic or criminal related offence against me except the above so I would like to know your thoughts.
Thanks,
Regards
AK
