I am relieved to hear others have the same worries as me. I actually applied for a 173 in 09. I had to go over to Oz last year in a hurry as my son was diagnosed with cancer, I stayed for 2mths and was very homesick so I cancelled my application, I have now changed my mind and want to live out there so I am applying again. I didnt realise that going for a 103 would have kept me on the list. I have a question about the 173, when I apply for permanent residence do you know if the second payment is the payment that is stated now or will it be an increased payment.
My son has recovered after a years treatment but there is a 40% chance it will return another reason to be over them with him
Thank you
