Hello everyone,
I have some questions to ask here, I hope some of you could help me here.
I am a U.S resident since 2010. In 2011 and 2012 I was student in Canada, and I had several short returns to U.S (two days and less) just not to loose my Green card. However one of my stays in Canada took 6 months and 19 days (Jun, 11, 2012-Dec 30 2012), before I permanently move to U.S on December 30, 2012. Here are my questions?
If Naturalization would be denied due to breaking continuous residency (of more than six month and less than 1 year), when is the next earliest time I can apply again?
will it be 4 years and 1 day from the return date of the trip which has broken the continuity of continuous residency, or from any last trip even if shorter than six months after that? or from the date that my N-400 application has been denied?
Can I basically use the 4 years & 1 day rule for naturalization counting form day I returned to U.S from my long trip of more than 6 months and less than a year?
Will a naturalization denial due to break in continuous residency have any negative effect on my next attempts for naturalization?
Thank you very much in advance
