I have some confusion regarding the Citizenship requirement. I will break down my timeline

– I first came to Australia in Feb 2012 on student visa
– I graduated in April 2014
– I apply for 489 visa and got granted in Sep 2014
– Before my 489 expired in Sep 2016 I apply for another student visa and got bridging visa till got the grant for the second student visa in Feb 2017
– I then apply for 189 PR offshore and leave Australia in March 2017
– I got PR grant in Sep 2017 and come back to Australia as permanent resident in Oct 2017.

Now im trying to calculate my timeline for citizenship application in Nov next year 2018. One of the requirement is that
” have lived in Australia on a valid Australian visa for four years immediately before applying”

Cuz I have left Australia from March 2017 until Oct 2017 to wait for PR grant when did not have any Australia visa during that time. Im just wondering in that case Am I still eligible to apply next year or I have to start my 4 years since I got PR grant.

Thank you in advance.

Hello,
Sorry for the typos in the email above with the dates. Please see the correct dates now.
I have first arrived in Australia as a student on 19June2008 and then left Australia on 10Aug2010. I have only returned back to Australia after over 4 years on 08Nov2014 with a Permanent Resident Visa Subclass 189. Will i be eligible for applying for citizenship since i have spent a total of more than 5 years in Australia and as a Permanent Resident for over 3 years? Or should i have to wait until 07Nov2018 to apply for citizenship?
Thanks!

Does my wife need to apply separately to me for citizenship?
If so, on who’s application do we put our children? hers, mine or both?
Many thanks

After lodging my application online, can I leave Australia for a few months and then come back when I have been invited for the citizenship test? Should I be onshore during the citizenship application process?

I am here in Australia on 31 July 2014. I have a permanent resident. I will finish 4 years on 31 July 2018, I did not go out Australia since I come on 31 July 2014. Based on the requirements of citizenship, I can apply for the citizenship on 31 July 2018. However, the government announced that it will not accept any application starting from 1 July 2018.
What should I do in this case, please? I am very worried about this.

Best regards

I arrived in Australia on a PR in Jan 2014. My wife and daughter came later in May 2014 on the same PR visa. I’ll be eligible in Jan 2018 as per residency requirements for Australian citizenship. Will my wife and daughter have to wait until May 2018 to complete the 4 year requirement or can we all apply together for citizenship in Jan 2018 when I’ll be eligible.
Thanks.
