Vis-a-o-rama

Today K and I went into the City to talk to Mr Chung from the Australian Immigration department. He told us, that our application was quite comprehensive.
So I should have my visa within a month, quite a relief, as we were under the impression it could take upto 8 months.
Now I must state one thing clearly! This is a temporary Visa which entitles me to remain in Australia as K's partner. After 2 years, I can then apply for a permenant residency Visa, assuming K hasn't gotten fed up with me yet! ;-)
So this is very good news! Now we can get on with living, instead of waiting in Limbo!
