I also have the same question.. any input from others who already did this transaction? Like if you sold a property from PH, then you want to send in P1m to Au, anong option ginamit nyo?

Hey Guys, not sure kung may nakaexperience na neto.. meron ba sa inyo nagka-baby bago makareceive ng citizenship test appointment? Pano kyo nagupdate sa Homeaffairs? kase may link lang sa letter that says to update them for any change in situation..…

in Citizenship application Comment by manofsteel May 2019
@fgs thanks! If I read it right, it only took 3 months from application submission to your test, then you’ve waited another 1.5mos for the ceremony? Or do you mean 1.5yrs?

in AUSTRALIAN CITIZENSHIP TIMELINE Comment by manofsteel October 2018
Yun processing time from application submission up until attending the ceremony? Ano turn-around time from application to test, and test to interview? Kase it looks like yun ceremony schedule tlaga yun matagal. Any latest timeline? Thank…

@Liolaeus salamat sa reply. Wow ayos ah, in 3 days naapproved agad. Was it after submission of the application or after fulfilling any other requirements (e.g. Health check) they've asked?

Your PH license will show the year when you first were issued a license. might still need to prove that, as other officers di agad naniniwala na yun 2 digits dun is the year it was issued, at least for SG may case na ganun. In Au they wouldn't ca…

Thanks sa informative response @Red. Mukhang mas maganda nga maaral ang other investment options than entrusting even that small voluntary amount to SSS, esp. di rin natin alam future ng SSS. I tend to agree with you @vhoythoy, based sa kwento mo …

Thanks sa mga replies. I asked kung worth continuing ba kse pag di mo daw nacover yun 120months na hulog pde pa rin magclaim ng lumpsum equivalent to number of months na naihulog mo na (im not sure lang if that includes the interest your hulogs ha…

in Continuing your SSS, worth it ba? Comment by manofsteel November 2014
@legato09 I've read somewhere na someone asked SSS that question, sagot daw ng SSS makukuha pa rin. I'm doubting this kase baka come the time na magclaim ka na eh baka bigla ka basahan ng Republic Act something something na di pala pde. If totoong…
