1 step closer

i received the papers approving my final step of my australian residency in the mail today. so i am now officially a full aussie permanent resident and in december i'll be able to take the final step and apply for my citizenship. i was kinda surprised at how quick this step was. we just had to fill out a ton more forms and hand in proof of our relationship (photos, joint mail etc) and stat dec.s from family and friends stating that they believe our relationship is genuine. it did take a couple weeks to get all that info together but i mailed off the stuff on monday and today we received everything back with a letter stating that i have been granted permanent residency.
