VERYSTORMY Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I don't understand. What date did you become a permanent resident? You have four times: 11 June 2014 -1 Feb 2015 Permanence residents visa 17 Feb 2015 - 23 Jan 2017 Permanence residents visa 23Feb 2017 - 25 May 2017 Permanence residents visa 11 June 2017 - now Permanence residents visa Which of these did you get PR? You cant have had it for all of them. What visas are they? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickyNook Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I think the OP has just listed all the dates she has been present in Australia and the type of visa she was on during each period. Hence - she got PR on 11/6/2014 but has left the country - presumably on holiday - three times since then. OP - I believe you can apply now. Four years ago (on 27/10/2013) you held a valid visa and you have not been absent from the country for more than a year since then, so you should be OK. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrussell Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Citizenship applications were being processed under the 'new' rules (4 years PR, English and so on) before the legislation had been enacted Now that the senate has disallowed the legislation, it is anybody's guess how applications will proceed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERYSTORMY Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 It depends what visas you were on prior to gaining PR and if there were any gaps in holding visas. For example, if in the periods you were not in Australia you also did not hold a visa, then the clock would start ticking from when you gained PR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if the clock start ticking from 11 June 14 this means I have to hold PR for 4years ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 If you held a substantive visa before you gained PR and there was no gap between an earlier visa and your PR visa, you may be able to apply using the date of the earlier visa was granted. If there was a gap, then it will be four years from your PR being granted which is June 2018. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
