Just to let people know. Mackalistair was granted a 600 visa back in August 2016. With instruction from the Minister to finalise his adoption in the PNG National courts. This was completed in May of 2018. Then we applied for an 802 visa in June of 2018. However it was rejected because we were not living outside of Australia 12 months prior to the adoption being finalised. We then applied to the AAT on appeal. The appeal was finally heard in Nov 2019. with a lot of discussion on the finer point of the immigration act. The member decided to over turn immigration's ruling. Immigration then had assess it again with the new information supplied. Mackalistair was given residence in Jan 2020. We then applied for citizenship in July 2020.
