You are eligible to apply immediately for naturalization , however you must provide evidence that you did not intend to abandon your continuous residence during your 11 month trip by providing for example tax receipts, rent/mortgage payments in US while away,evidence of family members still in US, business in US, or foreign assignment by a US company. If you cannot prove intent, it would be better for you to wait 5 years from the date you returned after your last trip of more than 6 months( Nov 2008)
