Hello po.. it's nice to be back here after a long time..
And yes, we just lodge our citizenship application last March 5 and still waiting for the test/interview invite.
My question po ako. Our PR is due to expire on July 2021.. With the current processing times, parang aabutan po kmi ng visa expiry while still waiting for the citizenship application to progress and get the result.
Hindi ko po sure if we should apply for an RRV (subclass 155/157) to guarantee na makapagstay p kami here? Or is there any other way po to ensure that we can lawfully stay here while waiting for the citizenship application result?
Thank you po.

as long as you wont be going outside Au, no need to do anything, we are still lawfully allowed to stay.
RRV is only required if your PR visa is expired and you need to be outside AU, and you want to return.

Yeah during interview hiningi... basta ang sinabi lang... "I think you still have an overseas penal clearance to submit (hindi sinabi which country, though tumira ako sa Pinas and Thailand)..... but you can still take the citizenship tests.... once you get your clearance, upload it to your Immi Account, and then email us once you've done so... "
So hindi ko na sinubmit yung original hardcopy ng NBI and Thai PCC, inupload ko lang sa Immi Account.. then inemail ko yung DHA Brisbane na na-submit ko na... then after a day I checked my Immi Account.. Approved na status.... then after a week may nareceive akong letter by post from DHA Canberra confirming yung approval ng citizenship application..
