guys any advise paano gagawin namin ng bf ko. kasi balak namin magpakasal before umalis ng pinas. parehas kami may VISA 190NSW, base sa schedule namin hindi ko na po agad makukuha yung PSA marriage certificate at makakapagchange status ng mga documents ko before umalis. ano ang maganda gawin?

Wala naman po adverse effect in case your docs are still in your maiden name. Once settled na kayo dito at available na ang PSA cert, then you can request for a change of passport at the Consulate and once availble update your details with Au Immi.

Ang pagkakaalam ko, kahit na married di naman required by Phil or Australian law na dalhin ang family name ng husband. As such, I think pwede naman maging married ang civil status but still retaining your maiden name as surname. Again, once documents are available, you can request for a change or name.

@ms_ane I just realized na naggrant nga pala kami 2018, first entry that year, BM this year. So maybe that's why our FTB got approved.

@mcril22 TFN is processed online provided you have an Australian address for them to send the letter with your number. Medicare and Centrelink (if applicable) needs personal application at the Centrelink office with the submission of certified copy(ies) of passport(s) and grant letters.
