I will know tomorrow if my 5 year application has been granted. I see no reason why it shouldn't be.

Today the application has passed the vetting stage. Tomorrow it will be presented to a special committee. If granted I pay the costs and am granted a 5 year resident status with the ability to apply for citizenship in 3 years.

If granted I will not need to check in anymore with local immigrations -previously about 1x a month or so. I also will get a local tax exempt certificate, and other local benefits.

Prayers are appreciated. This is basically the final step for me here. If granted I will have to pay the fee of $1,000us to transition my status.

Donations help tremendously to offset the expenses while I hold a pattern to see what the move is: http://www.givesendgo.com/joeyinexile.

If granted, no reason why it shouldn't be, I can pivot and refocus entirely on my work again, from here, and not have to run around as much to gather paperwork, etc. That was the first year ish I was here. As I am doing this the budget way and not the rich folk way, I have to wait through all the time periods.
