Mel B says she is fair-dinkum about becoming an Aussie.
The X Factor judge has set up home in Sydney again and is in the midst of sorting out citizenship for herself, husband Stephen Belafonte, and daughters, Phoenix, Angel and Madison.
"We are in the process of doing that," she told Insider over a sushi lunch.
"To get citizenship here does take quite a bit of effort with paperwork, all the legal work and getting the birth certificates but we really want to get residency here so we are not stopping."
Daughters Phoenix and Angel attend schools in the eastern suburbs.
The singer returned to Australia after performing with the Spice Girls at the Olympics closing ceremony a few weeks back and is familiar with visa issues.
Her nanny was sent back to the US because she didn't have the correct paperwork.
She and her husband have managed for now, although may need a new nanny when The X Factor ramps up with live show recordings this month.
"I haven't put it out there fully yet because I haven't been working that much," she says.
"Things are manageable. The two kids are at school and I'm up at five with Madison and she naps throughout the day so between my husband and myself, we can manage for now. I'm the mum but I have to work too because I love to work."
