    @aanover since mauuna ako for eligibility this October (my wife and children all December), my plan is to lodge for myself and all of my 4 children na Pinas born, yun kasi baby namin AU citizen na by conferment) Then si misis Sa December exclusively.

    Good Luck Sir! Sang State/Council kayo? By that time shorter na ang waiting time. We just got our Ceremony Invite, 5 years in the making ang Citizenship, all worth it!
