Granted!

In early August I lodged an application for an Australian partner visa – in other words for a visa that is almost impossible to get without heaps of evidence (like wills, joint bank accounts, joint gas bills...) for every month you have been with your partner. Well, at least this is the case according to some.

Well, turned out it’s not impossible. We may have had full 1,3 kg of evidence but definitely not as much as people had tried to scare us; On Friday, when I had just gotten my mug of Glühwein in a German Christmas market, I got the best news of the year; I was told that my Australian partner visa had been granted, four months earlier than it was supposed to happen.
Right after getting the news I naturally called my SO who was also very excited; therefore already before I had had time to finish my Glühwein, I had a new e-mail in my mailbox – this time from Qantas. I shall arrive in Australia an hour after the new year has started. Needless to say that I am very excited to start my life there and I am already almost in the middle of packing!
