A simple question about form 2555-EZ and Bona Fide Residence test

One of the criteria for passing the Bona Fide Residence Test is:
A U.S. citizen who is a resident of a foreign country, or countries, for an uninterrupted period that includes an entire tax year (January 1–December 31).

So just to be completely clear on this, if I've been living in a country since 1984 and moved to the US in September 2011. When filing the 2555-EZ for 2011 would I pass the above test, even though I was not a resident in the foreign country throughout the whole year of 2011?

Thanks!
