Dear members of this forum,
I am long term permanent resident, I want to become US citizen.
I have held green card for the last 9 years, but two years ago I got back from long emergency trip which lasted almost 23 months, I applied for reentry permit beforehand.
I arrived back to the U.S. in April 1st, 2012 and started settling down again. Here is my timeline of time inside/outside the U.S.:
2012 - 250 days inside , 115 outside
2013 - 270 days inside, 95 outside
2014 - planned 240 days inside, and 125 outside
2015 - expected to be in the U.S. between 200-240 days
2016 - 90 days in the U.S. before I file N-400
No trip was longer than 5 months. With this calculation I should get total of 1050 - 1100 days of physical presence by the April 2016.
Can I apply for citizenship under 4 year and 1 day rule on April 2nd, 2016 ? Should I expect any hassles? The reason for all the travel is personal, visiting relatives, helping parents with house reconstruction, leisure traveling, shopping trips to Mexico and Canada.
