hi all,

just wanted to know if anyone (USC) has ever experienced any trouble entering Australia, ie trouble of the sort that has sometimes been experienced by non-USCs entering the States...? my fiancé will be arriving in a week and I want him to be prepared :)

(background: he's staying for two weeks, before we fly back to the US together; I am in receipt of my K-1 and we're within all deadlines... we'll have a party, but not even a ceremony, while he's here, so no worries about the wedding taking place in the wrong country or anything like that :)

oh, and I'm assuming that he still needs an ETA? I haven't seen anything saying not, but I just don't know how up to date all the sites are ;) )

thanks in advance for any helpful replies! :)

The Very Secret Diary of Legolas Son of Weenus - by Cassandra Claire

Day One: Went to Council of Elrond. Was prettiest person there. Agreed to follow some tiny little man to Mordor to throw ring into volcano. Very important mission - gold ring so tacky.

Day Six: Far too dark in Mines of Moria to brush hair properly. Am very afraid I am developing a tangle.

Orcs so silly.

Still the prettiest.

Day 35: Boromir dead. Very messy death, most unnecessary. Did get kissed by Aragorn as he expired. Does a guy have to get shot full of arrows around here to get any action? Boromir definitely not prettier than me. Cannot understand it. Am feeling a pout coming on.

Frodo off to Mordor with Sam. Tiny little men caring about each other, rather cute really.

Am quite sure Gimli fancies me. So unfair. He is waist height, so can see advantages there, but chunky braids and big helmet most off-putting. Foresee dark times ahead, very dark times.

We just applied online for an ETA for my husband (they charge au $20) and it was immediate, on the site it said to book it 2 weeks before but there shouldnt be a problem. You have to be outside Oz to do that, so he will have to do the online application. We did the same thing last year. Here is the site  <www.eta.immi.gov.au/>

On arrival we didnt have any problems, and I cant imagine he will, after all he has his return ticket and the K1 pretty much ensures you wont marry :blush:

Good luck, have a fantastic time, take pics with your family for AOS, it all helps.
