Can someone please help me to understand the 4 years part of the residence requirement to apply for citizenship.
Is it 4 years concurrently before application, or can it be cumulative ?
I will explain my situation - may make it easier - I first arrived in Oz in October 2009 and stayed on a 457 visa until Jan 2012, then went back to the UK. In Oct 2014 I returned to Oz on another 457 visa, and was granted PR in Sept 2015. So I have been living in Australia for more than 4 years in total but not sure if that qualifies or not.
