Yeliboy · November 2017

Ask ko lang guys, how did you put your signature inside the pdf file (citizenship application form), coz the form itself does not allow me. Thanks sa hhelp. The only thing I know is to print the form, sign it, then scan it.

multitasking · November 2017

@Yeliboy kung online application.. ala ka naman dapat pirmahan except doon sa form 1195...

@nalooka Hindi ko pa nilodge yung sa amin at nagmove kasi kami ng house para iwas hassle sa pagfill up ng form. Please update us once you get your test date schedule and thanks for sharing your timeline.

Cassey · December 2017

@multitasking Hi, ask ko lang kapag nasubmit na yung application, pwede pa bang magattach ng additional documents? Thank you.

multitasking · December 2017

@Cassey alam ko pwede pa....

Cassey · December 2017

@multitasking Thank you, may update na ba sa application niyo? Sana hindi naman abutin ng taon, yung pagaantay, hehe

Yeliboy · December 2017

Wala pa rin update yung sa akin. I applied around early November. More than a month na since I lodged my app and holiday season is coming so I’m expecting this one to be a waiting game.

multitasking · December 2017

@Yeliboy .. di ka nag iisa... Early Sept kami.. ala pa rin update.. talagang sobra bagal ngayon...

Cassey · December 2017

@multitasking @Yeliboy 90% nga raw ng application napaprocess in 14 mos... at least nakapaglodge na tayo at di na affected ng mga susunod na changes. Waiting game na lang uli.

Don sa identity declaration ng Aussie Citizen, kailangan ba within your community or anywhere in Australia na kilala ka? Kakalipat kasi namin ng ibang state at dapat employed in one of the occupations na nasa list :-)

Cassey · December 2017

@fgs I think it can be anywhere as long as kilala kayo kasi they randomly call and ask the person to describe the applicant. And yes dapat nasa list yung occupation.

dai_yari · January 2018

Hello po.
Ask ko lang po. Magkano po ang total citizenship fee?
And if ever po ba, while nakaprocess ang citizenship pwede pong lumabas ng australia? Like magbakasyon for 1 to 2 wks?

Salamat po

Cassey · January 2018

@dai_yari Hi, it’s $285 per person, yung bata na kasama sa application ng parent under 16 is free. Pwede kang magbakasyon, may question sa form about traveling outside Au ilagay mo na lang run yung travel plans mo or you can update them thru your immi account..

dai_yari · January 2018

@Cassey. Thank you po sa reply, very informative. So, $285 na po lahat? Yun na po yung overall costs? Wala naman po akong anak or asawa, possible po ba ang parents/brother?

Thank you po

Cassey · January 2018

@dai_yari Yes, $285 for the citizenship application. Migrant o PR din ba brother and parents mo? If not, then hindi sila pwedeng magapply for citizenship.

dai_yari · January 2018

@Cassey thanks po ulit sa reply. Hindi po asa Pinas po sila. Ako lang po dito sa OZ kaya iniisip ko pong isama sila sa applic. Kaso hindi po pala pwede.

True po ba na if ever gusto ko sila ipetition permanently sa OZ eh 55k aud per person?

Citizenship is an indivual application except for underage children. You could have included your parents as dependents when you applied for your migrant visa. There is a parent visa you can apply but the wait is very long( i think 30years wait). The easiest would be a 3 or 5 years tourist visa but also expensive.

Cassey · January 2018

@dai_yari Pwede mo silang iapply for PR, yun nga lang mamimili ka kung gagastos ka ng malaki or magaantay ka ng matagal. Meron yung permanent visa subclass 103 around $6k kaso ang waiting time is 30yrs, meron ding subclass 143 which is a permanent visa nasa $19k or yung temporary visa na 173 which is around $31k. Maraming choices actually, ilan lang yan sa mga options. Pwede rin naman silang magtourist visa na muna.

dai_yari · January 2018

@fgs. Thanks po sa reply. Nung nagapply po ako ng p.r eh sabi nung agent mahirap daw isama sa applic.parents ko kaya di ko po naisama as dependents.

dai_yari · January 2018

@Cassey Thank you very much po for an informative reply. Will look on those types of visa. Have a great Sunday po.

Cassey · January 2018

@dai_yari No worries, all the best!

Captain_A · January 2018

@fgs @Cassey

question.
Individual application, meaning if a couple applied and granted PR visa, the other one is as dependent to the main applicant, they should apply citizenship separately once eligible?

unlike visa, there's a main applicant and dependents and apply as one?

TIA

yes correct...separate application..only underage children can be included..theres an option in the application where you can choose someone whose also applying to be processed witj your application so that both of you will attend the ceremony in one place/same rime

Captain_A · January 2018

Based on the dates, he is qualified to apply in April-before July 2018(unless di sya absent for 12 mos or more in Au). The new rules was not approved sa senate kaya di naimplement which could have been effective April 2017. Nasa website ngayon na iimplement July 2018 but take note that it is still subject to legislation.

dai_yari · February 2018

Good evening po.
Maginquire lang po ako sa mga nakakaalam. Magpasa po ako ng application for citizenship then gamitin konpo sana yung bank statement. Ano po ba doon sa bank statement yung NUMBER IDENTIFIER. Di po kasi kasya pag buong bsb and bank account. And wala na po akong makita doon na pwedeng maging identifier.

Thank you po.
