@eujin, ilang weeks po nyo hinintay yung snail mail ng SPF COC? Thanks po

carlo77 · February 2023

Hi guys, may tanong lang sana ako regarding "Evidence of Arrival in Australia" requirement kasi when I checked the old passport na ginamit namin, eh wala palang stamp. Ano dapat naming i-submit dito? old passport front page lang ba? Thanks!

Hi po! Maglolodge na po ako ng citizenship application pero medyo nalilito po ako sa online form.

Doon sa question na "Does this applicant have a national identity card?", ano po yung tinutukoy na identity card?

Nung nag-apply po ako ng Visa 189 in 2018, nag-yes po ako dito, referring to the UMID card. Pero ngayon kasi, meron nang PhilSys card, which I don't have.

In this case po ba, "No" ang sagot dito?

Thank you po

Hi po fellow pinoyau.info forumgoers! just checking po with you guys if pwede na kaya kami mag-apply for citizenship once tumungtong kami ng 4years of stay na here in AU? Arrived po in June of 2019, so by June of 2023, naka-4years na kami, or dapat i-wait po namin yung 1year as PR status namin?

TIA!
All the best po!
God Bless!

AFAIK 4 yrs stay pero dapat sa 4 years na yan, 1 year ka na PR. So need na hold mo PR for a year before citizenship

All the best!

Hi po! Maglolodge na po ako ng citizenship application pero medyo nalilito po ako sa online form.

Under Occupation, does it have to be the occupation when I applied for PR? For context po, I came here on 189 visa - Industrial Engineer, and now, I'm currently working in Procurement Process/System Improvement.

Thank you po

Hi po, so okay lang yun if yung scanned bio page ng old passport ay may hole punches na since na-replace na siya? Haha naninigurado lang po, thank you

I think okay lang since Passport number lang need but wala ka pang scanned copy ng old passport mo na wala pang hole punches?

Meron po. Hindi po ako sure kung alin ang iaattach. Mas okay tingnan pag walang butas.

Ang concern ko lang po if inattach ko yung walang butas is kapag nakita sa interview na may butas pala siya currently, baka sabihin na bakit walang butas yung sa attachment ko pero yung actual na ipapapkita ko sa interview is may butas?

Or maybe I'm just overthinking haha. Thanks po.

hindi titignan yang luma sa interview. ganyan din sakin inattach ko yung old passport ko na walang punch hole at dinala ko na lang yung luma just in case hanapin but hindi naman hinanap. yung new passport lang hiningi sakin kasi ang purpose lang is identification.

They will only ask for the docs that you submit during application for citizenship... PRC ID is not among the docs required.
