Hello I don't want to rejoice just yet, kasi di pa naauupdate ang Immigration Website.

Ano na po ba ang final na decision about citizenship? Am I correct na pwede na magapply if the applicant has stayed 4 years in australia and dapat sa 1 year dito is PR?

    hi @dee0829 , the proposed changes for citizenship done on April 2017 was blocked and rejected in the senate, so anyone who applied from April this year until June 30, 2018 will be tried using the old rules which is, 4 years residing in Australia, one year of PR in the 4-year period.

    Anyone who is eligible, please apply for citizenship now, otherwise a new bill regarding citizenship will be passed on July 1, 2018 and I assure you it will be harder to get citizenship in the future.
