I think you're mixing between continuous residence and physical presence. The latter is satisfied at the time of the application. Continuous residence must be maintained until oath.

Then did USCIS say physical presence requirement for citizenship doe snot need to be satified by teh time of interview or oath as long as it is
satisfied by the time of application?

See 8 CFR 316.2(a)(3) and (4)

(a) General. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, to be eligible for naturalization, an alien must establish that he or she:

(4) Has been physically present in the United States for at least 30 months of the five years preceding the date of filing the application;

also INA 316 (a)(1) and (2) , 8 USC 1427

(a) Residence - No person, except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, shall be naturalized unless such applicant,

(1) immediately preceding the date of filing his application for naturalization has resided continuously, after being lawfully admitted for permanent residence, within the United States for at least five years and during the five years immediately preceding the date of filing his application has been physically present therein for periods totaling at least half of that time, and who has resided within the State or within the district of the Service in the United States in which the applicant filed the application for at least three months,
(2) has resided continuously within the United States from the date of the application up to the time of admission to citizenship

See 8 CFR 316.2(a)(3) and (4)

Maybe we should post this TIME and DATE thing on the sticky thread called "Search - Index Page".... any comments

I found a nifty tool online that can help anyone, especially those who have multiple trips abroad, calculate how much time they spent in and out of the US. It's very user-friendly, just enter the dates of your departure and arrival and it'll tell you exactly how many days you've been in or out.

I don't see why not. It can come in very handy.

It means that continuous residency can't be broken up until oath. For example, any trip more than 6 months presumes break in continuous residency.

Here is another nifty tool, a xxxxxx to count days of trips outside of the United States for naturalization application. The calculator accounts for partial days spent outside of the United States.
