Applying with trip more than 6 months

[Lopp 1]

uscis says that:

1. Absence of More than Six Months (but Less than One Year)

An absence of more than six months [more than 181 days but less than one year (less than 365 days)] during the period for which continuous residence is required is presumed to break the continuity of such residence. This includes any absence that takes place prior to filing the naturalization application or between filing and the applicant’s admission to citizenship. ^[11] 

An applicant’s intent is not relevant in determining the location of his or her residence. The period of absence from the United States is the defining factor in determining whether the applicant is presumed to have disrupted his or her residence. 

An applicant may overcome the presumption of loss of his or her continuity of residence by providing evidence to establish that the applicant did not disrupt his or her residence. The evidence may include, but is not limited to, documentation that during the absence: ^[12] 

• The applicant did not terminate his or her employment in the United States or obtain employment while abroad.

• The applicant’s immediate family remained in the United States.

• The applicant retained full access to his or her United States abode.

I have a 11 months trip abroad but while I was outside the US , I was married to a US citizen that stayed in America, we filed tax return together and I have a apartment leasing in our name that covers all that 11 month period , bank account, etc. I was overseas doing medical surgeries

do u think IM able to apply for citizenship based on what Uscis says ( immediate family remained in the US/ retained full access to US abode ). Or its just a waste of money and they gonna deny it??
