Rahma Aldeiri, 22, feared the worst.
"We didn't know what he was going to do, like, will he separate the family?" she told 9news.com.au.
"Is he just going to grant me and my sisters the permanent residency, but my parents won't get it?"
Instead, her family got the news they'd waited 14 years for.
Every single one of them – dad Sultan, mum Reem, Rahma, and her twin sisters Hareer and Mesk – had all been granted permanent residency.
Their fight was finally over.
"We were all just screaming and crying," Rahma said.
"We worked so hard this entire 14 years … it was definitely worth it, but the process could have been easier."
The Aldeiri family came to Australia from Jordan in 2011, when Rahma was eight.
