887 visa help

[Richy12]

Hi 
Please help 
We are on a 489 visa living in Adelaide. 
We arrived in jan 2018 stayed for 5 months but then we went back to the UK for 1 year. 
After that year we decided to try Australia again and arrived back her in 2019. 
We have been living in Adelaide for 16 months and are now very happy. 
My question is 
When it’s time to log for our PR (887)
Could we use the 6 months we lived here in 2018 Or would the 2 years living start again when we arrived back in 2019?
Many thanks
Richard

You can use the 5 months in 2018 + 16 months now so you need to wait 3 more months. I assume you have completed the work requirement?

Thanks great news. Yes me and my wife have worked full time since we have arrived-and previously in 2018
Really appreciate your time
