Question about citizenship
My wife has had her Permanent Residency 801 since August 2015 and arrived in Australia in July 2012 on a 300 visa.(nearly 5 yrs in the country nearly 2 yrs PR)
We put some things together to apply for citizenship but had it on the back-burner as we had travelled and going through repeated IVF for the last few months.
Out of nowhere the Government made changes to the requirements appearing to place us outside the time requirement.
My wife is Thai and her english is fine.
Has a cert 2 in english language skills
Has been working since she arrived in Australia and appears to pass all eligibility criteria apart from the changed
time frame to apply.
Some of her friends have told her on social media and in person that she should still be ok.
I have called the Immigration Department and they gave me the scripted response that they'd give everyone.
My question is is there any way around this or must we now wait till August 2019 ?
Sure their are many others with similar questions out there!
