One additional question: Would I be illegally staying In India in following case? - My Entry Visa is expiring on April 30th. - My OCI is granted but waiting at the Chicago consulate for pick-up. - I am in India. If I overstayed (beyond May), would I be staying illegal in India or the granted...

Hello, My OCI is in Chicago consulate over last 9 months. I am in India for last 10 months. Despite my numerous attempts to call / write them, I have no luck getting a reply. Now, I am planning to go to Chicago to pick up my OCI. Can I safely assume that the OCI is still in Chicago? In the...

Thanks for prompt reply.. - I do own a house (which I've rented because of the bad economy and have moved to stay with cousins in same suburb/county.) - I was out of country because of sick parents with no dependents to take their care - I am in USA for last 8 years and during last 5 years...

oops! missed to mention that.. I am out of USA right now for visiting parents for last 3-4 months. On May 1st (the day I reach USA), i will be out of USA for 175 days.

Hello, Per my understanding, before I file N400, I need to be staying in my current state for atleast last 3 months. Is that a physical stay requirement? The reason I'm asking is: Currently, I'm out of USA and planned to be back on May 1st. On July 1st, I will be eligible to file N400...

Thanks a ton.

Thanks everyone for valuable info. I will make sure to take a trip of atleast 3-4 weeks to break this 10-month spell. This outcome raises one more question: Assuming, I am all good with "continuous residency" rule, if I am applying for N400 while outside USA, would they object seeing that...

I thought, they require 30 months of break-free (not more than 180 days outside USA) stay to make sure the continuous residency. As, i've already been in USA for last 4 years and without any breaks (of more than 180 days outside USA), i thought i don't need to worry about 10 month leave...

Hello Everyone, I've 2 questions: 1. Can I apply for N400 while outside USA? 2. I've finished 4 years without any more_than_180_days vacaction gap, but need to go out of country for next 10 months. So, I want to make sure that I will be still eligible for Citizenship filing as I might...
