IMO it's not weird kung wala ka pa talagang bala para tumira sa Oz then ipon muna sa labas, kesa maging pabigat ka pa sa kanila, mas pabor sa Oz govt yun.

Oz is expecting that in a span of 5 years your still "settling-in” (nag-iipon, inaayos ang pamilya, etc..), then after that period you will be staying for good until you acquire citizenship

you lived or travelled overseas since the age of 18 years or over, and
the total time spent overseas added up to 12 months or more, and

We know si hubby hindi mag qualify for citizenship next yr kasi hindi sya naka stay in au for a year. But for the kids... Age 6 and 8... Can i include them in my application for citizenship kahit wala sila in au like in a year sometimes they come mga 2x if school holiday sa pinas to visit me.
Ako din primary applicant sa p.r visa namin.
What do they look for sa citizenship application?
Binasa ko ung sa immigration and sa understanding ko if below 18 y.o. Pwdi ko sla ma inclue kasi dependents ko sila. Would like to know if may input kayo with regards to this situation. Thanks!

Currently, 1 year in au lng as pr yung residency requirement prior to eligibility.
Yan kasi main concern ko if the kids who are in pinas can also get citizenship. I know on my own i can satisfy whatever requirement that would be asked. If pwdi naman ma include yung mga kids mas mabuti if not then as early as now dapat nandito na sila pero ang hirap kasi full time ako working and 2 school age kids will not be easy in au on my own.

1. Pag naging AU citizen sila, matik hindi na sila Pinoy.
2. They cannot use their PH passport when entering Oz again, since they are already Oz citizen.
3. Pero wala silang Oz passport.
4. You can apply for Australian passport for them but again I don't know how hard or easy it would be.
Ito sabi sa nasusulat, basa...
People trying to enter Australia as an Australian citizen but without an Australian passport face difficulties and delays. The Australian Passport Office provides more information.

If I were you, I would suggest, kung magiging citizen ka na at mga anak mo, bago ka manumpa o kung anuman, papuntahin mo muna sila sa Oz. Pag citizen na kayo, apply kayo ng Oz passport. Then apply dual tapos balik Pinas.

Goodluck.

Pero the way I see it is more of, you are losing your "benefit" of still being able to enter/exit multiple times (should not exceed more than 12 months cumulative) without needing an RRV, while satisfying the residency requirement of the citizenship application...
After ng PR visa expiration, sa loob ng 4 years that you are satisfying the residency requirement, need pa ng RRV kung lalabas ng Oz..
