    Thanks to this forum, malapit na din ako sa finish line! I also got the idea here of giving feedback sa CO, then after one week ata, may grant na. So thanks to everyone! Mostly lurker lang ako pero sa mga friends ko na interested mag-AU, I tell them to consult this site for help.

    Yung mga ka-batch ko and sinusundan ko na sina @Heprex and @Hunter_08, pare-pareho pa tayong June ang citizenship ceremony. Congrats sa inyo and salamat sa masisipag na pagpo-post! And to everyone na masipag mag-reply sa mga nangangailangan ng tulong, thanks!

    Hope this helps

    just keep your digital copies nung mga sinubmit mo for PR, like Birth Cert, passport, etc

    pinaka importante is to track your travel records. kase kelangan mo ilist for the past 10 years.

    keep your evidence of first entry to australia. wala ng stamp si australia, kaya like ticket bookings, boarding pass, etc. pede din mag request ng travel movements sa website ni how affairs:

    Hello, sorry 'di nakapagbackread, pero may mga documentation ba na you'd recommend na dalhin from the PH and/or i-collect while residing in AU in preparation for citizenship application?

    Hope this helps

    just keep your digital copies nung mga sinubmit mo for PR, like Birth Cert, passport, etc

    pinaka importante is to track your travel records. kase kelangan mo ilist for the past 10 years.

    keep your evidence of first entry to australia. wala ng stamp si australia, kaya like ticket bookings, boarding pass, etc. pede din mag request ng travel movements sa website ni how affairs:

    https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/departmental-forms/online-forms/request-international-movement-records

    Salamat!!!!

    Thanks to this forum, malapit na din ako sa finish line! I also got the idea here of giving feedback sa CO, then after one week ata, may grant na. So thanks to everyone! Mostly lurker lang ako pero sa mga friends ko na interested mag-AU, I tell them to consult this site for help.

    Yung mga ka-batch ko and sinusundan ko na sina @Heprex and @Hunter_08, pare-pareho pa tayong June ang citizenship ceremony. Congrats sa inyo and salamat sa masisipag na pagpo-post! And to everyone na masipag mag-reply sa mga nangangailangan ng tulong, thanks!

    Hi Sir, Congratulations po, pwede po ba iclarify this part? I also got the idea here of giving feedback sa CO, then after one week ata, may grant na. Feedback po papano? Visa grant or Citizenship? Thanks!

    Thanks to this forum, malapit na din ako sa finish line! I also got the idea here of giving feedback sa CO, then after one week ata, may grant na. So thanks to everyone! Mostly lurker lang ako pero sa mga friends ko na interested mag-AU, I tell them to consult this site for help.

    Yung mga ka-batch ko and sinusundan ko na sina @Heprex and @Hunter_08, pare-pareho pa tayong June ang citizenship ceremony. Congrats sa inyo and salamat sa masisipag na pagpo-post! And to everyone na masipag mag-reply sa mga nangangailangan ng tulong, thanks!

    Hi Sir, Congratulations po, pwede po ba iclarify this part? I also got the idea here of giving feedback sa CO, then after one week ata, may grant na. Feedback po papano? Visa grant or Citizenship? Thanks!

    Hello! The feedback part is when I was waiting for the visa grant. If I remember it right, I went to this site:

    https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-and-support/departmental-forms/online-forms/complaints-compliments-and-suggestions

    I gave my details like application reference number, my name, etc. That time kasi, I got a CO contact and they were requesting additional documents. I submitted it right away, pero after like 5 months, we still haven't heard back from them. That's when I learned from this forum the feedback technique. So I sent a feedback thanking them for looking into my application 5 months ago and to contact me if there are any clarifications regarding my application. Ayun, after 1 week surprisingly we received our grant! I don't know kung tamang timing lang talaga na mag-grant na kami or the feedback works, but from my and others' experiences, parang nakatulong. Good luck sa'yo! :)

    Thanks to this forum, malapit na din ako sa finish line! I also got the idea here of giving feedback sa CO, then after one week ata, may grant na. So thanks to everyone! Mostly lurker lang ako pero sa mga friends ko na interested mag-AU, I tell them to consult this site for help.

    Yung mga ka-batch ko and sinusundan ko na sina @Heprex and @Hunter_08, pare-pareho pa tayong June ang citizenship ceremony. Congrats sa inyo and salamat sa masisipag na pagpo-post! And to everyone na masipag mag-reply sa mga nangangailangan ng tulong, thanks!

    Hi Sir, Congratulations po, pwede po ba iclarify this part? I also got the idea here of giving feedback sa CO, then after one week ata, may grant na. Feedback po papano? Visa grant or Citizenship? Thanks!

    ako na try ko to both sa Visa 489 ko before at dito sa Citizenship application, pareho naman gumana..hehehe

    Congrats! LOL pati citizenship gumana feedback? hahaha

    oo gumana pa din feedback.. hahahah.. sinubukan ko lang buti gumana.
