If someone is not able to spend time in Australia for Australian Citizenship what he/she has to do?
My hubby is an Australian citizen n two kids r citizen by decent and i got PR in 2004 so i am permanent resident and my PR is going to expire in 2013.
according to Australian Immigration Rules i need to spend two years in Australia for my Australian Passport. but problem is this my hubby is doing job over seas so i cant leave my family so i am not able to spend my two years in Australia.
but i heard if u spending that given time with ur partner out of Australia then that time will be count equivalent as u r spending time in Australia. is that true?some one told me these form no in my case (form no 1300t and 1290 t)

You got PR status 9 years ago and have yet to complete your residency requirements? If you do not complete your residency & other immigration requirements according to the regulations, you do not get citizenship. If you leave Oz, no passport. No exceptions, no excuses. If your family was not ready to settle down IN Australia permanently, then you should not have applied for PR yet! Now, it looks like that shot sank in the ocean.
For citizenship you must spend the 4 years within Australia of which only a max of 90 days in your final year can be outside Australia. Sorry but there is no other way. If you are not in Australia for a period of time you have not shown your commitment to Australia only to your husband. Your other information is wrong.
