Folks,
I would be obliged if I received some badly needed info. Here is my situation
My wife and I are on a temporary assignment outside the US and we both are GC holders and our 5 year GC period is coming up in March 2009. Technically I will be eligible to apply for a citizenship as we statisfy the 30 months rule of US stay.
My questions are
1. Should we stay for 90 days in the US prior to applying for Citizenship
2. if so, should the stay be for all the 90 days, or are we allowed to apply for the citizenship and then go back to our posting outside the US
3. Our assignment ends in Dec 2009, the option of waiting it out till Dec 2009 is a little risky as I will not be able to satisfy the 30 month rule
How should we go about doing this? We have filed our taxes for all the years , have 2 kids both born in the US and have property in the US that will show our intention of moving back. We have also applied for a Re-entry permit, but have never used it as we have never been away for more than 6 months outside the US...Pl help
thanks
