What visa did you land on, where you on a 456 all that time? Not a 457? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus1 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Hi,to satisfy the residence requirements for citizenship you must have: 4 years lawful residence in Australia. This period must include 12 months as a permanent resident immediately before making an application for Australian citizenship. So while you've got the 12 months PR, so haven't 4 years residence in Australia yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
