July 2011 looks like it might be your start date, but when did you arrive, and have you been in Australia for 9 out of the last 12 months.
To satisfy the residence requirements you must:
have been living in Australia on a valid Australian visa for four years immediately before applying which must include the last 12 months as a permanent resident,
and
not have been absent from Australia for more than one year in total, in the 4 year period, including no more than 90 days in the year immediately before applying.
Lawful residence means living in Australia on a valid Australian temporary or permanent visa.
"The residence requirement is based on the time you have lived in Australia and the time you have spent outside Australia.
You must:
have been living in Australia on a valid Australian visa for four years immediately before applying which must include the last 12 months as a permanent resident, and
not have been absent from Australia for more than one year in total, in the 4 year period, including no more than 90 days in the year before applying.
The Residence Requirement Calculator can help you calculate whether you meet this requirement."
Does holding a Bridging Visa B while waiting to be granted the 820 onshore temporary partner visa count as lawful residence?
Be great to an answer to this!
