wheezie Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 hi, was speaking to another brit today who was saying all visa regulations changed and we now have to wait 5 yrs before we can apply for our residency. we came over in Jan 08 on a BN 136. this was granted to us in Sept 07. All the paperwork was approved in Oct 2006 so i dont know if this makes a difference. (we had to postpone it a bit as i was due to have a baby.) I always thought we could apply after 2 yrs but now i am not so sure. Looked at DIMA website and couldnt find anything. Any help or info on who will know this greatly appreciated.

The Broughtons Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 On a 136 you already have permanent residency. The thing your friend was referring to was probably citizenship. You can apply for this in 4 years from your arrival in Australia - the rules changed last July! Felicity:cute: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
