There are several criteria. I wonder if he already has a residency visa or is just here as a Kiwi.
Once you have a residency visa you have to wait four years before you can apply for citizenship. I've helped a number of people to apply. I'd be surprised, from what I know of him, if he couldn't muster enough positives to be approved.

with the talk of days out of Australia i would say that it is actually residency and not citizenship he was applying for. doubt his days out of australia on the dates writen would have any efect on citizenship if he already had residence.

age over 45 = zero points
occupation, actor = zero points
language English Australian / kiwi = zero points

just that there would mean he will not make 100 points let alone 110

now if he spoke mandarin and was a hair dresser he would make 105 points

Not sure if the rules have changed , you used to be able to come here as a business migrant , but you had to have about $ million . Many of our Asian migrants used this method , I would have thought he was worth more than that . So he could have used that avenue . Jim..

you would think so. but some visas can not be changed to another visa ie if you are from some country's you get a tourist visa but it maybe stamped that you can not say apply for a student visa while you are here. yet if you come from another country on a tourist visa you can apply for say a student visa or even residency etc.

i am working on the assumption the RC is on special class 444 which is the Kiwi walk in the door automatic visa, so automatic you do not even know you have it until you become a solo father with a child with a medical condition. then you realise that you have very imitated access to centerlink and Medicare even though you have been paying tax.

i also suspect that since the last round of changes. RC has been caught out like so many kiwis, probably there has been maybe a medical issue with one of his kids. or more likely international travel with his kids on a Aussie passport and he on a kiwi passport will or can make things exceedingly difficult. ( personal experiences with this one)

business immigration. sure he could start up a business, a Chinese takeaway for example, work 7 days a week for 3 years and maybe get a visa then. but no. since his wife and kids are already Australians they do not count on his application. so having an Australian family actually works against you in this case.

You are totally out of line. Immature, and, I suggest, perhaps not extremely brave. Hiding behind the internet to deliver your slurs shows me that. I suggest you put up your experience, but more importantly, show proof of the same, irrevocable proof, not one of your normal fantasies. Either that, or leave your diatribe for the Disney Channel .Ian, give this bloke a miss, He's not worth the effort. Bob
