Citizenship Exemptions
Hi,
I wonder if anyone can give me some information. This year I would have been eligible for citizenship, however due to my mother being sick and having numerous operations I returned back to the UK, causing me to be out of Australia for more than a year Jan 2010 - April 2011.
I was wondering is this would be a valid reason for seeking exemtion to be eligible for citizenship this year.
Thanks
Fejao.

Re: Citizenship Exemptions
No, as far as I have read there is no ministerial waiver from the four year residency period for compassionate reasons.
