My hubby and i are waiting for our visa too, im the aussie, he's the yank. we're going to australia next month on a ETA visa for him,so he can stay for 3 months and then leave then come back to australia - he called immigration and they told him that he can visit australia if he wants while waiting for his visa. we have two kids both of which i made aussie citizens this year..... he knows that when they grant him the visa - he needs to go offshore for it to be acitivated....
