Re: 892 State Sponsored Residence
we have a charter bus and coach business with school run contracts, we originally came out with an internet travel business from the uk but found we would not make the targets so had to change. Still using internet travel experience in the new business which has grown our turnover considerably. Its a long wait and 4 years of stress always working towards that goal but as the email came in with those fantastic words PR granted, i can say thank god now we can get on with our life, our job, and our kids are not stressing out they may have to go back to the uk. I really hope you get yours soon, fingers crossed.

Thanks alot - me too
We've met all the criteria, it's just getting it in front of your CO in the right format for them to read, I guess.
How long are you waiting to apply for citizenship? May as well get all the stress and paying out over with in one hit
Good luck with the business - hope you grow and grow

Hi Jules
I have read in the midst of all the websites that we can apply after one year having had the temporary visa for 4 years, so hopefully i have read correctly and want to do it next xmas so we are in time for australia day 2010 which will make my kids happy and me well and truly an aussie. What about you .
However have been on diac and its well and truly confusing on the citizenship page.

However, processing time can take anywhere between 3-9 months normally. It is unlikely you will be Australian by 26 January 2010.

It's currently about a 7 week wait for the test dates, then about 3-6 months for a ceremony. My husband booked his test last week and they gave him a date for 12th February. He asked about ceremony dates and they said probably around May/June. We're in Perth metro area.
