Hi Tony

Thanks very much for offering to help Kell.

Mr Habibi could do with assistance as well if you feel inspired to
offer it. I gave up because I felt that the OP needed proper advice
which I could not offer. Here is the thread:

http://groups.google.co.uk/group/misc.immigration.australia+nz/browse_frm/thread/558aa88e7e72f43e/85d1f4358175074a?lnk=gst&q=Habibi&rnum=1#85d1f4358175074a

Cheers

Gill
