[RichardK]

Well, I've taken the plunge, my citizenship ceremony takes place next Tuesday, Ill be an Ozzie!

Only taken me 57 years...............

Considering I only applied a couple of months ago and my interview was 10 days ago the wheels have turned fairly quickly.

[abaddonxi]

So I'm guessing you speak English floo-ently.

:D:D

Didn't realise AULRO was issuing citizenship.

Cheers

My mum was one of those kids shipped over during the war,, sort of adopted and stayed.
Mr Whitlam sent her a letter telling her they were going to deport her!!!
A few years ago she tried to do the "Ozzie" thing and was told "what for? you already ARE a citizen"

Good on ya Richard!!!


will they let you across the border now?;):p:D

[Wortho]

Welcome to Australia, pretend it's 57 years ago for that.

[weeds]

did you have to sit a test

if you decide to move to queensland it take another 10 years before you can call yourself a queenslander

[Mud_Bogger6]

Congrats

[Quiggers]

One doesn't want to rush into any rash decisions, does one.

It's your shout, mate!

You know that's part of the Aussie tradition....

Congratulations, RichardK, well done.

my mother inlaw moved the Queensland 45 years ago , Has 7 Queenslander children and Queenslander Husband. But still calls herself English (and thats English not british, there is a big differance:D ) Even though she was cheering on saturday night when Britain won

[RichardK]

Thanks for the good wishes fellas, I'm hoping the operation just before I become an Ozzie doesn't hurt too much.........

Pedro, I have to confess I've been over all the borders in Australia except the NT one............wasn't caught though........

congrats richardk, from what i hear the operation isn't too painful; that toe they remove so you can wear thongs isn't needed for much & you'll have two less toe nails cut; i won't go on incase i offend.

Andrew

[RichardK]

Got "Done"today Andrew, Didn't hurt either, there wasn't much involved, just had an interview sent in some papers to prove I had in fact been here for a number of years and they got me into the earliest ceremony they could.
I suggest you look into it promptly with the new requirements that may come in soon.

[Cap]

Congrats RichardK... ;)

I thought they'd want to keep you all as british citizens due to the water crisis
Australian citizens have to shower on a daily basis so the extra water usage might just push water consumtion over the limit and cause a massive drought of biblical proportions
