RussellJ Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Hi Guys, Need some advice.@TeeTMI Have our citizenship interview on Wednesday and cant find the original 1195 form and photographs. Can I still upload new form and photos? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellJ Posted March 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) Not to worry. I found them. They were packed away "safely" 🙂 Thank you!! Edited March 21, 2022 by RussellJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeTMI Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 Glad to hear you found them - those 'somewhere safe' places can be a nuisance sometimes!  All the best with the Interview and Test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellJ Posted March 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 Thanks @TeeTMI. Just for information sake, I had called Immigration yesterday during the search and they confirmed 1195 and photographs are not required for interview. I went to the interview appointment today and although I had them all with me, they were not asked for nor enquired about. (Kids were also on my application). Happy to say, test passed and now awaiting ceremony! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussellJ Posted July 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 Citizenship done! Had the ceremony this past Saturday. All in all, was a good day. Although it is unfortunate that some people don't treat the ceremony with the respect it deserves. Constant/Incessant talking during speeches made a large part of the ceremony inaudible which was a shame and should be monitored better. Nevertheless, all done! Does anyone else feel it should just be a tick of a checkbox during your citizenship application to say you want a passport as well? Obviously we will pay additional associated costs but...more of the same documents...again 🙂 ...and to wait....again....LOL.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the process is yet to be refreshed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
