Hello friends, i stayed out of the USA for 10 months, i want to know does
4yrs 1day rule applies to me, i read one of the post here, which said to get the 4yrs 1 day rule benefit, you must be absent from the US for more then one year.
can any pls reply.

Thanks
 
That is true but in a different way.

If you were outside the US for less than a year (treating multiple consecutive trips outside the US as one long trip), they might not consider you to have broken continuous residence. And if you haven't broken continuous residence, the "4 years + 1 day" rule wouldn't apply because you wouldn't need it; you would be eligible upon completing 5 years post-GC, provided that you met the other requirements (2.5 years physical presence, good moral character etc.).
