AUSTRALIAN CITIZENSHIP TIMELINE

yosh10

Hello!! Once maapprove ang appeal, you have to go to a local police station here in Au to get your fingerprints scanned, tapos immail mo yun sa sg police with an envelope then ibabalik nila sayo yung certificate na mismo using the envelope you provided.

Thanks @ChidoRodgers ! Just sent the docs to SG.

Hi po, questions lang po:

About sa date of first visa - Nagpunta na dito yung friend ko ng 2000 as a tourist visa then naulet pa ng 2 beses tourist visa din. Then nung 2016 nagpunta sya dito as state sponsored vusa holder hanggang makuha nya ang PR. Sa question na first visa sa australia ang ilalagay nya yung tourist visa entry nya ng 2000 o yung start ng continuous visa nya ng 2016?
Nag appear yung name ng parents nya sa attach ng documents pero wala namang nakalagay na documents na hinihingi, wala din pwedeng i-click para sa attachment?

Thank you po sa makakasagot.

Hello,
Pls direct me to the right group if this question is not relevant in this group.
We have applied and granted oir PR 4 years ago. In the application, i wrote my name the same as what it is written in my passport (surname, first name, middle name or panggitnang apilyedo). When we arrived in Australia i learned that middle name here refered as the second name. So my maiden name became my second name here in Aussie. In few months we are going to apply for citizenship and i am unsure as to how to revise or correct my name without paying or going to any court for amendment. Pls help! Thank u.

Same kung pano mo ginawa sa PR application mo. Kasi on your test/interview day, they will check your passport and other docs na dapat match lahat and that includes your middle name. So for me medyo nagulo pa nga kasi nay JR ako sa name... you will be asked to provide three docs na may first middle last name mo... tas si officer sasabihin niya we will use this kasi eto yung nasa passposrt and supporting docs mo.

Happy for others to confirm this kung tama or mali...
Same case din samin. I entered on 457 visa processed by MA. They lodged it with first, mother's maiden as middle and last name bilang yun yung nasa passport and birth certificate. The Visa is tied to your passport information, number and exact name shown sa passport. We don't have any issues with it naman din during interview.
hi, pwede pa ba magedit ng kung nagbayad at submit na? Hindi ko kasi nalagay middle name ko, kasi nung PR hindi ko rin siya nasama

Yes, download and fill up Form 1023 (Notification of incorrect answer) and upload it in your application via immi account. During interview, verify that they picked up the updated information.

Salamat @aanover !

Napansin ko lang din yung nsw photo id ko rin pala may middle name. Kaya mas okay na mas sigurado kaysa magka problema sa huli

I lodged my Citizenship application last 15 Feb 2020... di pa gumagalaw, until now 'Received' pa din...

Not sure kung dahil yan sa pandemic or normal turn-around time lang yung ganun?

both yan (madami backlog plus pandemic), I lodged around Oct last year and only got test invite early March for May exam. buti na lang namove ko ng march 10, so Na approve na ako. Now I'm still waiting for the ceremony, haven't heard anything yet from DOHA... May nababasa ako may mga nakakareceive ng EOI for virtual ceremony and marami narin nag virtual ceremony... so waiting game tayo lahat 😃

Hello po, i don't know if this is the right place to ask my question about citizenship application. We're about to lodge our application in 2 months time, what are the requirements that I should be careful to present? Do i have to take IELTS? Thank you.

Not sure kung dito nga ang question mo, pero sagutin ko na rin.

Requirements: Original copy ng passport mo, birth certificate, marriage cert if married, Proof of identity na may address (Driver License, Utility Bills under your name), NBI Clearance or PCC sa mga countries na pinuntahan mo after mo ma PR na nagexceed ng 12 months (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Di kelangan ng IELTS.

Ang alam ko pwede ka mag try mag fill up para makita mo yong mga questions dun sa form.... pero di mo masusubmit (ewan ko lang kung nagbago na to).... Nag-apply ako around Oct last year.

J_Oz

Kamusta mga waiting for ceremony dyan, or kung may mga nakapag virtual ceremony na rin. May movement na ba ang mga mag tetest/interview pa lang?

LittleFinger

wla pa here, was among who got their test postponed last May. Haven't received the new schedule yet. I lodged my application here in sydney. Please comment here kung sino na ung mga nkareceive ng new schedule after postponement.

You can lodge on Oct, Not even sure if you can fill the forms as early as now... You can try but as far as I know you won't be able to submit if you are not yet eligible.
