Citizenship question
I think when you're about to have a heart surgery and you didn't have any history with the surgon doing the surgery the first thing you do is to circulate his or her name to see how good he or she is at what they do. Am I right or what ?
Not just that you're paying thousands of dollars, you're also risking your chances with migrating and before you make any further step you need to be 100% sure that you're making the right choice.
Its not like i was going on a date and i was putting my date's name on the internet to see if she is worth dating or not !!!!

Re: Citizenship question
I've moved your post to its own thread as you are more likely to get answers this way

Re: Citizenship question
You will come under the new "3 years in 4 rule" because you won't be able to apply under the 2 year rule before it closes on 30 June 2010.
If you arrived to live in November 2009 and don't travel outside Australia you should be eligible in late 2012. Use the residence calculator at http://www.citizenship.gov.au

Did you read the information at http://www.citizenship.gov.au
It is essential reading. And don't waste your time calling the helpline, often the information there is wrong.
