rrv and citizenship?

Re: rrv and citizenship?
Your first point of entry is after your PR visa was granted. RRV is irrelevant, you still have a PR visa. So, in your case, you will need to state the dates you were in the UK after your PR Visa was granted, so from 2008 to 2009. The 2009 entry to Aus is your initial point of entry. You will then need to put in the dates you were out of Australia at any point after that. ALL of these dates and timeframes are what will be used to work out your eligibility for citizenship. You have a PR that was granted in 2008. You will be required to provide dates of ANY time spent outside of Australia since it was granted.
EG. My PR visa was granted in July 2011. I was living in the UK at that point. My first entry to Aus was Feb 2012. I then returned back to the UK in March 2011 until August 2012 when we moved here. I then returned back to the UK in 2013 for 3 weeks and have since stayed in Aus. ALL these dates have had to be entered.
Regardless of whether your trip to the UK was an emergency or not, they will still need the details. You have to tell them about ANY period of time spent OUTSIDE of Australia since your PR Visa was granted.
So, to recap. You were granted your PR Visa in 2008 and you were living in the UK. You need to put those dates. You then entered Australia in 2009 to validate, they need to know that date. You returned in 2009 for a holiday, they need to know that date. You then returned to the UK, they need to know that date. You returned to Aus in 2013 to live, they need those dates. you went to the UK in 2015, they need those dates.

Exactly. Personally I'd leave it for a few more weeks. a) there's no hurry; b) your calculations 'could' be out by a few days; c) whatever the scheduled maintenance is, it could end up with some creases that need ironing out.

The online application will prompt you what is required. Yes, I scanned the pages where my first point of entry was made,

Re: rrv and citizenship?
I know it takes time to get your appointment and test and cermonony date but was hoping to get it this year.
I have no say but was hoping.
My local council has canceled july due to election and by time i did appointment and test would miss anyway.
But left was 2 days in august,2 days sept im sure 1 date in Oct and 1 date in nov and none in dec.
So was hoping sooner i got it in maybe a chance.
Council could already be filled for rest of year or they not that busy.

Just so you know, there is a tool on the right side called multiquote, it is located next to the quote tool so you don't have to write a post for every answer to every member.
In plain words, you can answer to multiple members in one post.
