On Thursday 28 November 2008 we traveled into Melbourne city to lodge Ulf's spouse visa
application (for permenant residency). Amazingly we only had to wait about an hour to see someone (we didn't have an appointment so we didn't expect to see anyone), who went through our documents [see photo, right] and 'interviewed' us and took our money. We were very surprised and blessed by the kind nature of the man that took our application. He was very polite and respectful and very positive about the possible outcome. We still needed one more official document, then our application would be complete and he would have to make the decision. We have now sent in this last document and should know an answer in the next weeks, hopefully by early January. Praise the Lord!
