@dai_yari I’m definitely sure it’s not the BSB nor the account number. Any statement number on the top portion of the document?

dai_yari

For 190 state sponsored visa, hindi namam kasi nakalagay don sa visa .mo as condition na kailangan mo magstay sa sponsoring state unlike sa 489 visa. Wala kasi clear guideline na makakaaffect sa sponsored migrant pag di nacomply ang 2 years stay. Only a CO can answer your question.We never know kung may descretion ba ang CO to refuse your application in this case. Sa palagay ko naman wala namang nakaranas ng refusal.

Hi guys. Sorry to crash this thread. I'm planning to apply for citizenship as soon as I meet the 4-year residency requirement (which is by the end of this month), pero wala akong birth certificate. I could request for one online, of course, pero it may take some time pa before I get it. Meron ba dito naka-apply ng citizenship without providing a copy of their birth certificate? Just wondering if there's a way around it.

Also, regarding evidence of residential address, ang nasa checklist lang are:

A utilities notice such as electricity, gas or water bill, or
Rental contracts or rates notice.

The apartment which I currently I rent a room at is not under my name, nor are the utility bills. Pwede bang mobile phone bill (considered as utility ba yun hehe)?

Thanks!

@appledeuce

hard copies/ originals ba ang need ipasa? if not, mabilis lang nmn magrequest then ask someone s pinas to request, receive and scan it for you.

phone bills is ok i suppose...credit card, bank staements, drivers license etc basta may address i think is fine..

Hi. Ask ko lng what to do if wala ako kilalabto sign the identity declaration form for Australian citizenship?

pissedball

@helloworld you can't apply for Australian Citizenship if no one signs your "identity declaration". Ask your boss or former boss to sign it for you kung wala kang pinoy-aussie friend.

Hello folks, kami Nov din nag apply pero wala pang exam date.... nakakakaba naman ang waiting period na ito...

peach17

@epiboy99 wow buti ka pa nakarceive ka na ng exam date.
Bat kaya ganun samin, Nov 13 kami nag lodge. No exam date pa rin until now

peach17

@multitasking hi po, nakareceive na ba kayo ng examination date? Hays kami wala pa po eh.... nakaka worry

epiboy99

@peach17 Malapit na yan. Di ko rin alam yung process nila sa pagschedule ng exam date. Meron sa kanilang forum, 24 Dec 2017 sila nag apply tapos sa 30 May yung exam. Pero mukhang yung mga October November applications, nakakatanggap na ng test email so malamang, malapit ka na din. Good luck.

Wow, congrats! 5 months waiting lang from lodgment to test schedule! Paano po kayo nagrequest for the test to be rescheduled to an earlier date and what reason did you provide? Also, same day that you took the test, nakuha rin agad yung result? Amazing!

epiboy99

@appledeuce Thank you! Since i cannot attend the original test schedule, i rescheduled online (appointments.border.gov.au). Lalabas dun yung mga dates na may slot pa. Wala namang reason na kaliangan ibigay for rescheduling. Basta may slot, walang problem.

Swerte lang na same day naapprove. Nung citizenship interview, kinuha ng officer yung passport ko and ng daughter ko tapos balik daw sa kanya after the test. Kala ko may problem. After the test sabi nya, she is processing my application kasi approve na daw nya. Tinanong nya kung sang council ako kasi send nya daw para mainvite ako for the ceremony .

I checked my immi account when i got back to work that afternoon and approved na nga yung status.

God is good.
