    N400 Alert for Continuous residence!!

    Hello, I did my tax for all years since I gained PR using Turbo Tax, but she never wanted to see the IRS statements. 4 Years 9 Months (+ a couple of days) My first year was risky, because I strategically took a 3 day trip to the USA in 2016 just to keep my residency from being broken. 177...

    Moving to another country before the naturalization interview

    My interview was more than a year after N400 submission. Are you going to be outside the USA for a full year before your interview? How will you explain it to the IO? What will you use for your address?

    N400 Alert for Continuous residence!!

    I just left the warning there, since it's not necessarily a deal breaker. I'm just going to explain the situation to the officer - I had a messy first year trying to find a job and finish up in my home country. Maybe I can ask him to change my permanent address to my friend's house I was using...

    Continuous residence

    Here's the official page. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-d-chapter-3 Btw 6 months is 180 days so your residency was broken.

    Continuous residence

    183 days exactly? Day of departure and landing count as a full day, are you sure it isn't 182? Now I think you need to wait a year. Yes I think the 4 years and a day rule applies but do some research since I don't know it well.

    Naturalization with absence more than 6 months (combined trips)

    No.. it's got to be continuous absence of 6 months. Not cumulative. So you should be ok.

    N400 Alert for Continuous residence!!

    I got the same message and it was because of the addresses I used. I bet you entered a foreign address for the first year. I was thinking of putting my hotel as the address for my mid-year trip, just for a few days, but thought it might be considered a lie. Better to be honest. I'm going to...

    Continuous residence

    IMHO you can apply now since you never broke residence.

    I never worked for sponsoring employer

    IMHO the risk of losing your greencard and being deported isn't worth the benefits of citizenship. I'd just stay as a permanent resident forever.

    Online application loses file attachments

    Just a warning that the online application loses files, and be careful and check the Review before you do your final submission. Today I decided I was ready to submit my application, and I was going through it page by page, and noticed my baby (US citizen) Birth Certificate, which I'd already...
