  1. Hi I got a question regarding citizenship residence calculator. My PR was granted on 19th May 2017 while I was overseas for business. I then returned to Australia on 21 May 2017. When I tried to enter each trip overseas in the last four years, the calculator says PR date cannot occur during trip therefore I could not enter this trip as it is in the calculator. (should be 10/05/2017-21/05/2017 however the calculator only allowed me to enter as 10/05/2017-19/05/2017 due to abovementioned reason) Does anyone know if this will affect me eligibility (Assume I meet the residential requirement) to apply for the citizenship ? Is there any restriction travelling on PR granted day ? Thanks in advance. Cheers Elliot
  2. I will be eligible to apply in May 2018 under the current rules - does this mean I will still be able to apply in next May if the amended one passed ?
  3. Assume this does not mean the bill can therefore be passed ?
  4. Just to clarify - It was 3 years on TR + last year as PR = 4 years Now Four years on PR (if someone had been in this country on student visa for 10 years and finally got their PR this year, they still have to wait for another 4 years.) Different people find different inconvenience the new law brings to them. Could be subjective when it comes to say which one makes more sense than the others. For instance, I personally think it's fair to ask people to have good English (if they have decided to stay in this country for good) regardless of their original cultural background while some might find it too harsh. However, I personally think four years PR residential requirement ridiculous as it somehow makes me feel efforts spent on integrating with this society in the past few years not being recognised. Overall, if all elements of this citizenship overhaul make sense it wouldn't have been derailed... But we can't do much as it's to be decided by the upper house. Let's wait and see.
  5. it means time spent on TR doesn't count though. I would only have to wait for another few months to be eligible to apply for the citizenship now may have to wait for another few months + three years That is the difference.
  6. Looks like the ridiculous four years residential requirement will still get passed...
  7. Guys, I am glad to share my great news with you all. I am currently overseas but my boss called me to inform me that my PR has just been granted. My occupation was removed last month so I was very nervous. Thank you all in this Forum for sharing information and providing mental support. I am flying back to Australia tonight. Wish you all get your PR soon! Cheers Elliot

  11. I think MD got PR granted on 22/4/17 (August sheet. DE application) And SABAKI got nomination approved on 21/4/17 (June sheet. DE application) Let's try to stay positive.
  12. Congratulations mate ! All the best ! Your good news could possibly make us more confident after two weeks without approval...
  13. He is a politician who cares more about his seat and party than our futures. They are definitely aware of the labour market situation here but they have to make their voters happy so they can stay in power. Anyway thanks for sharing information, will give my MA a call today. She was not in yesterday... have a good night & fingers crossed for all of us.
  14. Feel sad for you and getting worried for myself. Would you mind giving us more information ? I don't quite understand as they say 186 DE won't get affected and I thought you are 186DE ? In which case how could this affect your nomination ? Your occupation is still on the list isn't it ?
  15. Congratulations! Would you mind telling us if your occupation "technician" refers to below "Technicians and Trades Workers NEC" 399999 I ask this question because the above position in on the removed occupation list. If yours was the same, your good news would make people like me a little more confident. Thanking you in advance.
  16. Thanks for sharing and yes I have just found it. Thanks God that I am 186DE...
  17. My occupation is removed. But since I have already lodged 186DE application so can I assume mine won't be affected ?
  18. hey guys Just wondering what will happen to the exiting applications if the occupation is removed from the new occupation list which will be released tomorrow? A bit worried...
