Quoll Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Good Lord, it's been less than a month. What were you expecting? A response by return mail? Give it 3 months then start worrying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulhand Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 If you have urgent travel plans then they will usually be helpful. Otherwise, what’s the rush, particularly in the current climate? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes we did provide Identity Declaration by an Australian citizen. Below is immigration email to us on baby passport photo when we made enquiry regarding Citizenship by Descent application 'Thank you for your email. You can lodge a Citizenship by descent application on-line https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/applying-online-or-on-paper/online and upload the following: 1. Obtain passport photos to be uploaded or take a face photo of the baby as attached parameters. If you have difficulty with this, you can take a photo of baby on a white background (e.g. sheet) with full face showing and eyes open (if possible) and upload that to the on-line application. It must be saved as a Jpeg version less than 500kb in size.' All the best in your application Anna. Passport is next. It never ends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AltyMatt Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Does citizenship by descent preclude naturalised citizenship? I'm wondering whether the children of someone who subsequently returned to UK could subsequently obtain citizenship via naturalisation and pass it to their children.

If a child obtains citizenship by descent, their citizenship stops with them and can't be passed on to their children. Can they upgrade the citizenship by descent to full citizenship by naturalisation, e.g by moving back to the UK and working/studying there for a few years. Or is their citizenship status fixed at 'by descent'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took about 3 months for my daughters citizenship to be approved, I applied in July 2019, and it was approved around the end of October. Bear in mind this was all pre Covid.

For example, if two Australian citizens by descent who have never set foot in Australia had a child overseas and the child is not entitled to any other citizenship then they would be eligible for Australian citizenship by descent.
