    @fgs probably ganun nga. one question though. if using the residency calculator, yung lawful residence date is yung big move ba or yung initial entry? From initial entry umalis pa kasi kami pero d naman umabot ng isang taon. tama ba pagkakaintindi ko? Thanks ulit.

    Separate application for each adult, your child can be included in any of the parents' application. You can use 1 immi account

    Hello! Congrats sa mga nakapag lodge na ng application at sa mga umuusad na ang papeles! Naghahanap sana kami ng pwedeng makatulong. Yung husband ko ay eligible for citizenship na. Isasabay na nya sana sa application ang 2 kids namin. Ako hindi pa pwede dahil last year lang ako at kids nag move dito. Almost complete na ang requirements nila kaso yung 3 yr old son namin walang mahanap na pwedeng pumirma ng identity declaration form nya dahil hindi pa siya nag school. Nasa Perth kami, baka may mairecommend kayo na pwede naming malapitan para makapirma. Hinahabol sana ni mister na maisubmit bago mag July. Thanks sa mga sasagot! Goodluck sa mga ibang nag aapply din!

    Hi Kabayans,

    Malapit na mag expire passport ko. Ok Lang ba na expired ang passport when applying for citizenship?

    May nabasa din ako dito sa thread na Hindi na kailangan ng NBI clearance if I didn’t stay overseas for more than 90days since becoming PR. Can anyone please confirm this.

    Salamat :-)

    Yeah, you do not need NBI clearance.
