Sometimes There's Good News

Michael and I are cautiously optimistic that our ability to attain Aussie citizenship has tilted back in our favor! In the last year, while submitting our permanent residency application, we were unhappy when we were told that the law would be changing so that we would have to live here for four years as permanent residents before being allowed to become citizens, compared to the one year that it had previously been up until very recently. As it turns out, the law change did not fully go through, so the one year law remains for now and the foreseeable future. This means that we will more likely be able to become citizens and move back to the US as soon as we would like.
