In 1989 I received my green card. However, I was deported in 1999. I did accumulate five and seven years respectively for residency and green card status. September 26th 2023 I was returned to the United States through a parole to have a rehearing on the deportation order. My green card was restored. However, how is the 5 citizenship requem est are met in this circumstance? I.e., how much longer do I have to wait to be eligible for citizen ship given the already earned requisite 5 years as an LPR; despite the immigration charges, my time as a LPT were not interrupted for the physical presence of 5 years as required because the time the NTA was issued I already accumulated five years even up to the time of the final order in 1999. Thanks for those who replied with suggestion based on their experience.
