Hi guys

 

i have read that there has to be 3 months in the same jurisdiction before applying for n400. 
 

i am eligible to apply now but i travelled for 7 weeks outside the US and just got back recently. 
 

would this be okay? Or do I have to wait 3 months? Thanks. Im just making sure coz i really cant afford to be wasting money at this time.

i guess there's no certain answer for that, CMIWW , but i dont think that it will be a problem, so, why u dont try 1st to fill out form online, in that form it will show u if u are eligible or not to continue and submit it or wait until you are eligible. And, now, u knew already that u're eligible so proceed then 

other than that, if u fill it out online, u can save it and access anytime u want it.😁 and submit whenever u're confident.

Yes it would be OK. Your travel was temporary while you were maintaining the same residence. Your time of residency in that jurisdiction is counted from the time you moved to that address not from the time you returned back from a vacation. So go ahead without any worries.
