Have a look on the DIMIA website. Six months is far better than three.

Six months would've helped, but I still think the w*nk*er who thought up this rule must've had two d*cks - he couldn't possibly be that stupid just playing with one!

'Twas open when last I was there (Oct 2004).As for the whine bar, say no more!
There's always the White Hart but that's owned by the whine bar owner. I like the Cross Keys down the road a bit.

Hi Chris!
Bloody hell! Bit of a bummer when your plans don't work out eh?
Are you going back on a Defacto Spouse Visa after a year then, or am I reading this all wrong?
Whatever you do, I will toast you and your partner's health and wish you the very best of luck. Oh, and Welcome back to England!
Cheers, and much karma on its way for you!
