I have an interview and exam schedule on Oct 20.. and I got a list nung mga docs na kailangan dalhin during the interview/doc checks...

when I lodged the application, wala naman hiningi saking PCC (i.e. walang 'attach doc for PCC blah blah') sa Immi account as shown in the photo..

although nag-initial entry ako Dec 2014, pero nag Permanent/Big move ako Feb 2016 na... during that time... from

Dec 2014 to Jan 2015 - nag xmas vacation ako sa Pinas mga 2 weeks lang

Jan 2015 to Dec 2015 - nagwork pa ko sa Thailand (kulang kulang 12 months)

Dec 2015 to Feb 2016 - balik Pinas nako uli in preparation for the Big Move...

Feb 2016 onwards Australia nako..

I lodged my Citizenship application Feb 2020..

Question is.. during sa Interview... hihingan pa kaya ako ng PCC for those times between Dec 2014 to Feb 2016 na nasa Pinas/Thailand ako?
@wizardofOz nakadeclare ba sa application mo yung pagstay sa pinas at Thailand after ng PR grant?

Yup dineclare ko lahat lahat ng travels and countries I've lived in for the past 10 years

@agrande thanks po... Feb 2020 ako naglodge ng citizenship application.. then 1st week of October ko na-receive yung invitation for interview/exam this Oct 20..

sana nga hindi nako hingan... medyo matagal at magastos kasi kumuha ng Thailand PCC kung hindi ako mismo doon mag-aapply in person..

Guys, there’s a portion in the citizenship application saying there should be someone to attest your residency by signature needed. Could you share whom you went to? I think ito yun tao na magpapatunay na nandito tayo Sa Australia at matagal na rin sya na citizen...

@wizardofOz goodluck sa interview at exam. Balitaan mo kami sa outcome ha. 🙂

Hello po. I have a question. My husband and I with our 2 kids will be applying for citizenship now. Do I have to lodge a separate application for myself? Thank you po sa sasagot

Form 1195 ata yan... I went sa former colleague ko na andito na sa Oz na member ng Engineers Australia... I think you can even go to your GP (na matagal ka nang kilala) to ask for his endorsement.. andun yung listahan sa form kung sino pwede mag-sign... he needs to sign the form 1195 and the back of the photo you are submitting in your application...

Done with my citizenship interview and exam...

Hiningan pa din ako ng Thai PCC.. buti na lang pinag-exam pa din ako..

Kahit to follow na lang daw yung PCC, pero hindi nila ip-finalise yung application until masubmit ko yun

@wizardofOz bro ask ko lang bat ka hinignan ng Thai PCC is it because more than 3 months ka nagstay sa thailand?

Yep.. bale after PR Grant, nag Initial Entry lang ako and stayed in Oz for a week... then bumalik muna ako sa Thailand (where I was working that time)... and worked for almost 12 months pa para mag-ipon before the big move.

It's about the same period... 1 week after kasi ng PR Grant ko nag Initial Entry na ko agad..

Hndi naman ako hiningan ng ANY PCC during may Immi Account application ko.. pero during the citizenship interview, yun yung unang binanggit nung officer sakin na need ko daw i-submit...

Actually nung una hindi nga nya inispecify na 'Thailand' sabi nya... 'I think the only thing we'll be needing from you is an overseas penal clearance for any country you stayed for over 90 days..."
