Stayed out of USA for 2 times(7 months and 13 months). Am I eligible for apply citizen ship

[sekharch]

Hi,

 

Please help me and give guidance for filing citizenship.

 

GC approv dt = 07/12/2011(I was in India when It was approved. My parents sent it by mail)

Came to US  = 02/23/2012(out of US 7 months)

Return to Ind = 03/25/2012(stayed in US 1 Month)

Came to US  = 01/20/2013(out of US 10 months)

from 01/20/2013, I have been in US= (39 Months continuously in US as of today)

 

Am I eligible to apply citizenship?

 

If any one help me and give good suggestion, that would be appreciated.

you satisfy the 30 months of "continuous" physical presence out of 60 months leading up to the filing date..

Hello,

I think you will be eligible only in July 2016, when you will have completed 60 months of continuous presence.

However since there is a 10 months gap in 2013, please make sure if you have not broken the continuous presence and that the clock is set forward to 2013, before you apply.

Just I would like to make sure and to be more accurate,

 

My friends says, you stayed out side US for 2 times, first time more than 6 months continuously and second time more than a year continuously . both are more than 6 months periods. They says you have to wait for this 18 months duration  also for filling. I forgot to tell you before ,I went to India one time for 5 weeks and another time for 4 weeks in the last 39 months duration.

 

So please advise Am I eligible for filling?

Where is this "more than a year" in your list of dates?

You even say: 7 and 10 months... Where is the 13 months you mention in your subject line?

continuous presence is considered broken only when stayed out of US for more than an year straight..
