Sa mga nag undergo na ng Citizenship interview.. may naka-experience ba sa inyo na may hininging additional documents na wala naman dun sa 'list of docs to bring' and 'docs submitted during your application'?

di pa rin kasi ako makatulog eh.. baka hingan ako ng Thai PCC.. which is hindi hiningi when I lodged my application..... di kasi ako makakuha now ng PCC dahil mahirap ang logistics now dahil sa pandemic...

Although sabi naman nung isang friend ko... if may document na kailangan sayo yung Immi.. dapat hiningi na nila before ka pa in-invite for interview/exam...

bkit ka hinigan thai pcc? expired na ba ung dati?

wizardofOz

meron po ba dito na recently lang nag re-new ng NBI clearance?

yung mi-nail lang kay Ms. Sandra (hindi gumamit ng representative)..

engineer20

@wizardofOz hiningan ka na rin ba ng NBI clearance?

ask ko din sana, sa interview ba dadalin lahat ng orig docs na sinubmit sa immiaccount?

Ni-reready ko na rin yung NBI..

dun sa new checklist na inemail nila hindi naman kasi naka-specify which overseas clearance yung issubmit... yung criteria lang (country you stayed for at least 90 days blah blah)...

yep need mo dalhin sa interview lahat nung originals ng docs na inupload mo sa Immi application..

Although during interview, yung passport and AU driver's licence lang hiningi sakin...

as far as i know, pwede isama ang tourist visa, but in your case, i think yung sept 2018 lng pwede isama since more than 12 mons n yung total days outside australia.

@cyborg5 said:
Kailangan ba original papers dalhin during citizenship interview/exam sakali? Like original nso birth certificate? Original nbi clearance? Etc? Original din ba proof address like utilities? Kasi pdf lang natatanggap di ba?

Bring nyo lahat ng original... of course yung mga proof of address/utility bills need nyo na i-print yan...

Although in my case dinala ko lahat lahat, pero during interview passport and Au driver's licence lang tiningnan...

cyborg5

Ok na cguro sumobra/overprep kaysa kulang

Hello everyone, just a quick question. Thanks po sa makakasagot. We already submitted our application last month and from our application we didn't put our middle name. The reason behind is para maging consistent from our PR application kasi di namin din nilagay yung middle name . Sa passport at DL parehas na may middle name. Do you think need namin iamend yung application namin para ilagay middle name? May kapareho ko ba na di naman nagkaroon ng prob?

Wala ding middle name sa application ko naaprubahan naman.. sabi ko sa nag interview sa akin bakit sa PR ko di naman naquestion na walang middle name, sagot nya final daw ang citizenship kaya kung ano ang nakalagay sa passport, yun daw ang pgbabasehan nila, yun kasi mgrereflect sa citizenship certificate May middle name ang DL at medicare ko kaya ok naman, yun kasi pinakita kong ID together with my passport.

As in kinwestiyon ka during interview about your middle name.. or ikaw ang nag-clarify?

silly question po - yung birt cert po ba dapat yung me redribbon? I have my birthcert from NSO pero hindi sya yung may redribbon. For our PR dati tinanggap sya, not sure if for citizenship they will ask for the one with the red ribbon? Thanks!
