mhcornwall Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Hi All. I just wanted to check something, my wife (aussie) and myself (british) are applying for the 309/100 and my wife is current 5 months pregnant. We are expecting the visa to be granted after the baby is born, but the query is do we need to declare the pregnancy? at the moment we don't have any dependants, but if the visa is granted after the baby is born, we would have one. I know from looking in to citizenship, that the baby would automatically get aussie citizenship by descent if born over here. we just want to get everything in order and declared so there isn't any additional delays. Any help or advice would be hugely appreciated. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc If she has to get an x ray, she's not going to do that until after the baby is born so that could delay things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The partner is Australian so probably won't need a medical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhcornwall Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 she shouldn't need to have a medical. From looking in to it, the only evidence specific to just my wife will be her police checks. She was left PNG 8 years ago after working there. So that will be fun trying to get the police check from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrussell Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 If a child is born in Australian and at least one parent is a citizen or permanent resident, the child is an Australian citizen by birth. If born outside Australia citizenship by descent is not automatic and must be applied for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhcornwall Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 just read the timelines for that and 4 months for 90% of applications which is pretty decent. guessing that would take us up to the time when we would think about moving over there. wonder if anyone has been in this situation if or how the pregnancy would be declared and if it would have any impact, positively or negatively on the decision or time it takes from being assigned to a case officer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
