    Am I eligible based on the following timeline for N400?

    Assuming you have no further long absences, you can claim continuous residency as of 5/26/2013, so you can apply 5 years minus 90 days from this date, which is February 25, 2018.

    Early filling and Physical Residency

    You have to maintain continuous residence, but there is no requirement for continuous physical presence. You require only 2 and a half years of (not necessarily contiguous) physical presence within a 5-year span. An absence of less than 180 days does not normally affect continuous residence...

    N-400 Section 8 Time outside the US

    Yes, there is the physical presence requirement, which you will satisfy in 18 months if you stay in the US continuously. (This requirement would be waived entirely under expedited naturalization.) There is also the continuous residence requirement, which I am not sure you satisfy, because you...

    applied for citizenship thru 3 yrs marriage but divirce after interview

    Did you just hijack the original thread? Normally, only a conviction would cause problems. One exception is if you previously lied about it or omitted it on your N-400 application then you could be in trouble.

    N-400 Section 8 Time outside the US

    I don't think your interpretation of the rules is correct. I think you're ineligible. I could be wrong, and I'm not a professional. You should really talk to a lawyer. If your husband were an LPR, then his job overseas would "count" as stateside residence for his own naturalization purposes...

    Am I eligible based on the following timeline for N400?

    I think it could be a problem. She has a repeated pattern of long absences every year. So the application is already borderline to begin with. The 183 day absence on top of that makes it harder to prove your case. Once you accrue an absence beyond 180 days, the tables are turned. Instead of the...

    Canadian American Citizen marrying a USA gc holder

    Marry and live in a border town in the US until she gets US citizenship. That's what we did. A green card means permanent residency. One must reside in the US in order to keep permanent residency. In theory, the moment you move to another country to reside, you lose your US permanent residency...

    G-325A, help needed

    You can write "SEE ATTACHED SHEET" and attach an extra sheet. I may have misunderstood your question. If you are asking about residence, typically a short trip would not disrupt residence, so you do not need to list them on questions about residence. You do need to list them on questions about...

    Procedure of getting married and getting a green card.

    I don't know. If you don't enter the US then I would assume an American marriage license is invalid.

    Procedure of getting married and getting a green card.

    I think that's the same thing as marrying in Mexico.

    G-325A, help needed

    Yes you need to mention every trip. I used to commute twice a week to Canada for an entire year. Every single trip got listed.

    Procedure of getting married and getting a green card.

    I see, there's an unofficial 30/60 day rule which applies to marriages on tourist visa: http://www.visapro.com/Immigration-Articles/?a=1252&z=36

    Procedure of getting married and getting a green card.

    No, your choices are: Marry in the US, and apply for adjustment of status, OR Marry in Mexico, and apply for consular processing. There's no reason to marry in the US and then leave. You won't be able to return. Marry in the US, apply for AoS, and concurrently apply for a travel document.

    Procedure of getting married and getting a green card.

    Consular processing is actually often the fastest way to the green card. But adjustment of status allows you to apply for a travel document before you get the green card, whereas consular processing requires you to complete the entire process before you can travel. As long as you are lawfully...

    Procedure of getting married and getting a green card.

    You are allowed to enter the US on a visitor visa and then decide to get married. So there would be no reason for El Paso to deny you a marriage license. It doesn't matter whom you marry. But you are not allowed to decide you want to get married to a US citizen and then enter the US on a...

    Child's Greencard and travel after citizenship

    A bit late, but for the benefit of other readers, I think the policy on electronic devices varies by courthouse. I was allowed to bring a digital camera, but not a phone or tablet.

    Address issue - N400 Application

    They want to know your primary residence. Drivers license is irrelevant.

    Continuous Residency - Medical reason

    There's no exceptions for absences of one entire year or more unless you file N-470 in advance of your absence.

    Procedure of getting married and getting a green card.

    You need to provide more details. What kind of visa do you hold? If it's a B-2 visa (the most common visa), you cannot enter the US legally on a B-2 visa with the pre-existing intent to marry an American after you enter. The reason is that a B-2 visa is a non-immigrant visa, and can only be used...

    Fraudulent greencard?

    It's not a matter of the green card expiring; the issue is maintaining US residence. All green card holders are equal in this respect (except for commuter green cards, which you do not have).
