What are the ways to rebut the presumption that I have not met the continuous residence requirements should i leave the country for 11 months to pursue an MBA? In general, my understanding is that anything under 6 mths is okay, but anything more than 6 mths might be a problem. So, what can I do to mitigate this?
Also, is it 6mths in a calender year correct?...so say I leave the US in August 2010, come back in Feb 2011, and then leave the US again in May 2011 before coming back in July 2011 for good. Under that scenario I would still have complied with the continuous presence requirements correct?
I don't have an issue with the physical presence requirements at all. And I won't have any other long trips besides the trips for my MBA.
Please advise ppl. Thanks
