Citizenship Questions

[tchauhan 3]

Hello All,

Hope all is well.

 

I have questions about my eligibility for US citizenship. Need your guidance/comments on if I am eligible for it???

Landing details:

·         Immigrated (landed) to the USA based on family category (F3) the first time date: 29^th Nov 2010

 

Details of dates I was OUTSIDE of the USA since I immigrated:

·         29-Mar-11 till 29-Feb-12 (337 days)  

·         18-Jun-12 till 8-Apr-14 (659 days. applied and got approved for TRAVEL DOCUMENT i-131)

·         29-Nov-14 till 22-Apr-15 (144 days)

·         20-Aug-15 till 4-Feb-16 (168 days)

·         30-Sep-16 till 8-Feb-18 (496 days. Applied and got approved for TRAVEL DOCUMENT i-131)

·         17-Jan-19 till 9-Feb-19 (26 days)

·         12-Sept-19 till 14-Oct-19 (32 days)

 

Total # of days OUTSIDE of USA since I immigrated = 1862 days (61.21 months)

Total # of days OUTSIDE of USA since past 5 years (since Jan 1st 2016) = 589 days (19.31 months)

 

Presently, I am in USA and intend to stay and have no vacations/work outside of USA planned.

 

Questions:

·         Please help me understand and guide me if I am eligible for USA citizenship?

·         Am I eligible to apply for Naturalization form N-400?

·         If I am not eligible, when will I be eligible to apply (assuming I stay in USA continuously and do not leave out of country for more than a month)?

 

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much.

I think your best choice is the 4 years + 1 day, that is counting 4 years and one day from your last long absence with re-entry permit. However, there are other conditions you have to meet to make sure that you will be approved like selective service registration if you have entered the US while less than 26 years of age, and like filing tax returns.
