HappyHeart Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Had our citizenship applications approved today! Lodged applications end of May, appointments were Wednesday, sat the test, passed, approval same day according to the immi site! Just the 5 to 6 month wait for a ceremony now which could mean a Christmas or Australia Day ceremony! If it is Australia Day that will also be the 5th anniversary for us, we left the UK for Perth on Australia Day 2009. The final piece of the immigration jigsaw, feels good to have done it and will be nice to be able to vote and feel like a fully integrated member of Australian society. Don't feel it changes things that much though I don't 'feel' Australian, I'm just a Pom living in Australia, still British and proud! Equally proud to be an adopted Aussie though and be part of this great Nation, God bless Australia!:biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
