Re: Four-year wait to be Australian
Oh it will happen. You see, most aussies don't like immigrants. We will "put up" with our pommy and kiwi cousins of course, but don't expect the red carpet laid out by the hard working aussie tax payer.

Cheers Renth - not that it would be the end of the world - I am staying put in Oz anyhow :) |

Re: Four-year wait to be Australian
To try and qualify this is something, I read recently on a website, when checking for citizenship requirements:
This is a newsletter off the site It mentions about how it asked the question about what happens if you are already here? We will wait and see the outcome of all of this, we are hoping it stays the 2 years. We are up for citizenship early next year. |

September 15, 2006 01:00am "...it means learning as rapidly as you can the English language if you don't already speak it," Mr Howard said. As for the 4 year wait, it probably states 1 year on the Statute. The remaining 3 year delay reflects the typical Oz service level. Still, it's good to see that the great unwashed are forced to wait before they join us as Aussie citizens. Waltzing Matilda and all that guff... |
