Btw....
 
Please excuse me, but i have waited a long time to say this...



I GOT IT!!!!... Permanent residency granted today :D :D

We've been having a tough time recently, and this sure is a weight off our shoulders...now i can truly make Australia my home. Been blubbering on and off for a couple of hours now, and i am on my own as hubby is in NZ with his sick dad. Never mind... i'll still treat myself to a bottle of shiraz!!

Congrats!!!! :)
yum, enjoy the wine and let the party roll on!! :beer: (sry there's no sign for wine consuming, so that's to do the job...)
guess it must be a big relief to know, where to one's belonging to and being officially permitted to anyway....

you're a huge step ahead of me in the rollercoaster.... i had my partner (de facto spouse) visa only granted in May 2004, means the 2 years are ticking away now...very slowly but :rolleyes:

Anyway, wish you all the best for your life as PR in Oz.
Regards,
Sonja
