[MysticRiver]

Well, it's not something listed, but as the name suggests, it's totally at ministers discretion.

Hey Aaroo, I know I am taking a long shot but did you end up getting this approved? I am on a similar boat, just that I was living with her the whole time while I was overseas.

Cheers

Hi everyone,
I have a question about the Discretion 5 please.
What type of evidence are they looking for when the ask for "and evidence that you had close and continuing association with Australia during the period of absence".
Thank you

Maybe family, employment etc.? Not sure though.

Hi Aaron,

I applied under ministerial discretion 5 on 10 March 2017 with almost the same situation as yours. I've passed my citizenship test on 13 September 2017. I am currently waiting for my approval letter, so fingers crossed!

Hi Shisa,

May i ask what documents were you required to show?

I am an Australian citizen since 1995, I got married with my wife in 2003. I bought an apartment under my name in 2017 and pay vacant property tax since then, we bought a slot of land this year under joint ownership. My wife visited Australia for a few times since we got married and stayed for a couple of days each time. We have two children, one is 16, the other is 13, both are aussie citizen. My wife just applied for citizenship under ministerial discretion. What is the chance of approval ?

Hey Shisa,

Do you think more applications are successful via ministerial discretion?
Thanks
