Hi Guys, question. Pedeng isang immi lang gamitin namin no? Pero separate application for citizenship?

Yes, yun yung ginawa namin.

Thank you! Anyone tried choosing a different state for your preffered citizenship appointment location? Maybe go regional? May effect ba to para mablis? Hehe

@Heprex yup account ko lang. under my application yun kids, then yung wife ko separate but under same account. there is a question about authorising someone else to receive alerts on the applicant's behalf. mark that as No so you wont have to fill out form 956/956a.

something I also discovered, home affairs auto calculates your first valid entry to Australia sa form. if d ka pa complete sa years of residency, you wont be able to lodge your citizenship. that happened to me and my wife coz we moved to Australia 1 month apart. I was only able to submit my wife's application exactly after nun first entry date nya.

Just have some more curious question. Will it cause some problem if I don't submit the application immediately after attaching the documents? I already have the documents but I'm holding off submitting due to finances. Would appreciate an answer that had the same situation. Thank you!

@Megger thanks for the info as well!

@bluezaido depends siguro how immediate as long as its not being picked up yet by a CO. if its just a few weeks or less, ok lang. but I suggest not to let a month pass. in my case I already submitted it then realised I had some errors and couldnt revise my answers. as per home affairs, you can upload a statement listing missing or incorrect information. I did that after 2 weeks.

Hi everyone, I'll be lodging my citizenship application this coming October. Anong mga documents ang sinubmit nyo? I'm starting to gather my documents as early as now. I know we need NBI clearance, birth certificate, passport. Any other documents that I missed?

@ronpaul from memory, eto yung mga sinubmit ko all scanned original (coloured): passport (for evidence of first arrival in AU), proof of residency (electric bill), driver's license, front and back photo with the signature/details of guarantor, form 1195 with guarantor signature, birth cert

There are mandatory documents to attach - d mo masusubmit until you attach all the mandatory documents. the status will be awaiting documents. pag nasubmit na, it will say received (provided you have paid already). they will cancel your submission if you dont pay in 3 to 5 days ata.

@Heprex from memory I think mandatory yung 1195. d mo masusubmit until you upload it kc andun yun guarantor mo.

No dentist. Yung GP na nabisita namin ng dalawang beses, di man lang PR. Haha we moved 3 times, kaya kung mag book kame ng GP yung next available lang, at bihira pa. Dumaan pa pandemic, kaya puro nurse on call lang gamit namin. No kids din. No pets (parating pa lang hehe). Next ko ittry is yung property manager namin sana JP sya or practicing law, or sino man sa office nila.

Happy to meet anyone who can vouch for us. Hahahah
