Am I eligible for citizenship application?

 

I have been permanent resident since December 2009. But I have never been in USA continuously. I took a 2 years Reentry permit once.

 I am living here since January 2016, but visited my country 3 times in between( each visit for 2 months).

Next year 2018, July it will be 30 months of my residency.

Does anyone know if I can apply for citizenship next year.

btw, I applied for my wife, pd Jan 27,2017. csc

 

thanks

The short answer is no. But it is usually more complicated that that. 

Check this link: M-480.pdf

I would probably check with a lawyer or just go ahead and apply anyway and see what happens. If anything they might require the 30  months to be counted from after you reentered the country after your long absence.

Hi guys am new here and would like to ask if the California service center is the only center working on I-130 applications of Green card  holders spouse living overseas despite the state you live in please? Am in Texas and thought Texas service center will handle my case and planning on filing for my hubby .. any help please guys ? 

California works on the majority of i-130 of green card holders. They other service centers handle very few.

I am also waiting for CSC to move, but I have seen that the latest approval have been in Oct, and I believe there was 1 on November, they are working with the beginning of November.

 

Someone in this forum once pointed out that CSC is only moving significantly when the filing date on the Visa Bulletin moves forward.

 

Let's hope it moves forward soon, my priority date is Dec 19th, and still waiting for any signal of life from CSC.

 

Edit: To clarify my PD is Dec 19, 2016
