Question:
I Was Born In Adelaide Then My Parents
Moved To The Uk (my Mother Was Also
Born In Aus). I Applied And Rec'd
My Aus Passport And Now My Family
And I Are Now Considering Moving
To Aus. Just Wanted To Know If Having
This Would Make The Process Any
Easier? My Husband Has Got A Class
1 Hgv License And Really Wants To
Carry On With A Driving Career.
How Would This Work In Aus,where
Is The Best Places To Look For Work.
Answer:
Yes it should make the process easier.
Just one question - have you got
British citizenship, if so how did
you obtain it (eg by descent from
your father?). If you obtained (as
an adult) a Certificate of Registration
or Naturalisation as a British citizen
before 4 April then you will have
lost your Australian citizenship
and will have to apply to get it
back and meet certain requirements.
Just obtaining a British passport
will not have caused any problems.
Assuming you're still Australian:
You - get a new Australian passport
if yours is expired. http://www.australia.org.uk
Children - register them as Australian
citizens by descent (then get them
Australian passports): http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/118.pdf
Husband: Apply
for a spouse visa at the AHC London.
http://www.immi.gov.au has details.
He may well be eligible for a permanent
visa straight away and then can
become Australian himself after
2 years in Australia.
If you got
British citizenship automatically
from your father and never applied
for it, then you have not got a
problem with your Australian citizenship.
