Because after we've downloaded the most updated forms in August last year (they were updated July 2004), they've gone and UPDATED THEM AGAIN IN NOVEMBER. Why they didn't get it right the first time, I dunno.

And of course, being a tad bit TOO organised, we've gone and filled up the forms waaaay ahead of time. And now we have to fill them up again.

Except this time, the forms have exploded on their behinds because they've ADDED MORE PAGES. Yes, from a 22 page document, I now have to fill in 4 more pages, PLUS the previous 22 all over again. And that's just 1 form, okay?

As if that doesn't take up enough of my Sims 2 time, I've just finished the final touches of Our Case for a Spousal Visa - particularly, evidence of a Genuine and Continuing Relationship. As I've been telling some people who have bothered to ask, providing evidence of a Genuine and Continuing Relationship is as protracted and contrived an exercise as trying to prove you love your mother - and document that on paper.

I blame this stupid system of paranoia on the Department of Immigration under Howard's Xenophobic Regime... but most of all, I blame every single lying, cheating couple out there who have sullied the name of genuine cases such as ourselves, by endeavouring to screw the system over so they can get permanent residence, wait 2 years - and laugh all the way to the divorce courts/bank, whichever.

Meanwhile, our interview with Immigration commences tomorrow. Here's a 1.5 inch-thick compilation of email correspondence, submitted as Appendix 5A of Evidence of Genuine and Continuing Relationship. *WHUMP*

Here's Book 2. *FFFWHUMP*
