Thanks for both replies to my last post. I hope he's not doing anything
wrong by thinking that he no longer has Australian status since 1998. The
first issue that comes to mind for me is tax returns, since I come from the
land of the IRS.
I'll have to check into this one more. He has no intention of ever moving
back to Australia, but he certainly wouldn't want to be misinformed about
his status (and of course, his responsibilities that arise from that
status).
(See, newsgroups are great! There's always someone else who knows more than
you do to help you out. I know nothing about Australian
citizenship/immigration issues).
Renee :)
