2/4 years and 1 day rule for absence between 6 and 12 months?

[tomate 0]

Has anyone successfully naturalized under the "2/4 years and 1 day" rule after returning after an absence of less than a year?

 

My partner and I moved back to Europe "for a few months" three months after moving to NYC on my immigrant visa due to financial difficulties, however we've been out of the US for almost 6 months and still can't afford to settle in NYC so we are planning to save up for a few more months and move for good before I've been out of the US for a year. My only ties to the US for now are my step family, a credit card and upcoming 2017 tax return so I assume that won't be enough to excuse a 6-12 months absence so I'm considering applying for citizenship 2 years and 1 day after our return to the US.

 

I'd be really glad to hear from anyone who's applied for citizenship with an absence over 6 months and no rock-solid ties to the US.

Re entering the US would seem a more important challenge.

Maybe you should look into filling one of those forms that allow you to leave the US for a year. You will have trouble coming back.

how long are you currently away from the USA?

getting re-entry permit is also costly (plus you have to be on US soil to apply for it - and wait for the biometric)
