<blockquote rel="anne9">Hello guys. Is it possible to sponsor my husband while I am here in the Philippines, para after approval sabay na kami going to Australia? I have PR status. Thanks! 🙂</blockquote>
hi anne9....nakapag initial entry ka na po ba dto sa Aus or hindi pa? I think pwede mo nman sponsor ung husband mo while u r still in Phil, but downside is it might affect ung application mo for citizenship if u will consider applying immediately after ng 4yrs ng PR visa mo. Medyo matagal ang processing ng offshore, sa website ng DIAC it says 12-15 months depende pa kung low risk or high risk country.
Since to be eligible for Au citizenship, u must meet ung residency requirements. Sabi sa website ng DIAC <b>" you must must not have been absent from Australia for more than one year in total, in the 4 year period, including no more than 90 days in the year before applying" at have been living in Australia on a valid Australian visa for four years immediately before applying which must include the last 12 months as a permanent resident.

But kung d k nman nagmamadali to apply for citizenship and if lalagpas ng 12 mos ung processing ng patner application nya, I think should be OK na antayin mo ung approval ng husband mo while still in Phils. Or you can try to bring him to Au as tourist then onshore n lang kau mag apply medyo mabilis ung processing pero pwede lang to as long as wala syang "8503 no further stay condition" sa tourist visa, pero kung mabgyan sya neto no choice but to apply sa Pinas.
Pero to make sure kung pwede mo sya sponsor while u r still in Phils, maybe try to consult ung Aus embassy dyan sa Manila 🙂
