After 10months+, naka sched narin kmi for exam. Sa mga nakapag exam recently, may binigay ba na reading materials? Or may app ba tungkol sa Oz citizenship exam na pwede mapagpraktisan? Salamat po

Download the book from the immi website. You can also listen to the podcast meron sa apple podcast so you can listen from your phone and meron din sa website. I printed the book and listen to the podcast while reading. Para mas maretain sa memory ko yung info. mapapansin mo lang na yung ibang paragraphs sa book, hindi sinasbi sa podcast so make sure to read those parts too. Based on experience, all exam questions are in the book so make sure you read and understand. I read the book and listened to the podcast siguro mga 5 times before the exam day. kayang-kaya mo yan!

Thanks po sa tips @Pink.

need mo lang mag snail mail un old Nbi clearance plus the php payment to the office of NBI in manila.
then lagyan mo lang ng letter na isend sayo via email un scanned clearance.

Ok lang ba to and walang issue yung to follow yung doc? Ang hirap pa naman kumuha ng nbi clearance, ipapadala ko pa yung mga docs. Thanks!

Hi Good day po. Naghahanap po ako ng thread about old NBI clearance, then nakita ko po ito. Just wanted to ask about getting NBI Clearance po sa pinas while nasa abroad. Andito po kami ni husband sa SG. nakapag file na kami ng fingerprints sa Phil Embassy in SG. nasa amin na yung docs. ang explanation samen is to send sa pinas na representative to process sa Manila. Kaso yung relatives namin nasa province lahat. Hirap mag byahe sa Pinas.

yung sa inyo po ba, pano yung approach nyo? salamat po

sa case ko I sent my fingerprints, photos, and photocopy of Old NBI clearance (renewal kasi yung sakin...check mo na lang yung list of requirements):

      Ms. SANDRA P. SOBIDA
      Mailed Clearance Section
      3rd Floor, NBI Clearance Bldg.,
      UN Avenue, Ermita, 1000
      Manila Philippines
                           

Lahat ng application overseas sa department nila pinaprocess...

Ang ginawa ko is naglakip ako ng letter saying na need ko yung NBI clearance for blah blah purpose, then if they could scan and email the clearance to [email protected]...

pina-DHL ko with tracking para matrack ko kung nareceive na sa NBI... then after that tinawagan ko yung department nila Miss Sandra to confirm na nareceive nila yung application and if pwede i-email yung scanned clearance.....

mabait naman sila dun and may sistema na sila, basta need mo lang mag-followup kasi busy ata yung department nila.

NOTE dito ako sa while in Australia nag-apply

Hello po. I'am applying for PMV 300 and one of the ROI is Philippine Police Clearance, currently I am here in UAE.

Ask ko lang po,

Once makakuha na ng NBI clearance.. need pa po ba yun i attest ng DFA at ng UAE Embassy bago ko ito i upload sa Immiaccount or pwde na po ung na issue na NBI agad ang i upload?

Para po kasing kulang ung 28days na binigay to think pagpunta pa lang sa Phil Embassy sa Abu Dhabi need ng appointment then wait pa marelease then ipapadala pa sa Pinas yung documents. Then apointment pa sa NBI nung rep.
Maraming Salamat po sa sasagot.

Derecho upload nalang po sa Immi Acct ng scanned NBI nyo...

Particularly sa NBI, nave-verify na online kung valid pa yung clearance

Hello guys, just a question. Through email ba yung oath taking invite o through mail?

Meron din bang galing sa inner west Sydney dito?

Email daw muna, then you will receive a letter by mail too

In North Sydney wala ako na-receive na letter through mail. lahat ng communication/notification by email or sms.

Yes, from home affairs. Ceremony reminder a day before scheduled ceremony.

@wizardofOz may update na sa ceremony mo?

wala pa din.. nabasa ko sa ibang mga forums na may delay din dun sa ibang Brisbane Council nag-apply.. parang 3mos daw na nappostpone... ewan ko kung totoo yun.

Hello, magtatanong sana ako kung pwede mag-apply ng citizenship kahit expired na passport?

Jacraye

I think I have read it somewhere in this forum na pwede mag apply kahit expired na passport mo.

leahmirandagarcia

Nagtry ako online nd ako makaproceed sa Next, Sv
'Date of expiry' must be today or in the future.

I tried looking for that post regarding expired passport and citizenship pero di ko mahanap. Much better to call and verify at citizenship information line.

alam ko pwedeng expired passport pero paper application

Do not tick the "With Current Passport" on question on proof of identity..choose the appropriate answer if you have expired passport and you can proceed without a problem...my niece was able to sent her application just a month ago.

wizardofOz

Nabasa ko pala sa ibang forums na meron daw 7,000 na backlog for citizenship ceremony ang Brisbane City Council.. then nasa 300-400 pax lang daw ang naaccomodate nila for ceremony every month...

Currently, nasa October 2020 approved applications pa lang daw ang may schedule.. which is mind-boggling.

Not sure if totoo... but if that's the case... aabutin nga kami ng siyam siyam.

@wizardofOz dapat mass ceremony in person or kahit online na lang sana yan

Oo nga eh.. mukhang aabutan pako nung friend ko sa Sydney na 6mos ago lang nag-apply for citizenship... may exam/interview na sila this month..

@wizardofOz kilala ko yun sila E at J hehe. baka sila na kasabay ko sa ceremony.
