Hi Haseeb,
All the best to you too
Sorry I should have mentioned in my original thread that my husband and I are onshore. We have been living in Brisbane for just over a year on his 457 visa. However we intend to move to Sydney just before new year. The main issue with our application for PR and why the waiting is so stressful is that I am studying towards a degree here in Australia but as an international student. The tuition fees for an international student are around $12,500 per semester. When we get PR that will reduce to around $4000 per semester. So, in a nutshell we are pretty desperate!!
