Dear Friends, I am new to the forum so please forgive me if a similar question has already been answered, I could not find the related reply though after searching through the forum.
My wife was out of the country for 9 months after 9/11 due to the fact that I lost my job and health coverages. My wife was pregnant at that time and had a very serious health condition, she had to stay there for 9 months until my baby was born however I came back in less than 6 months and started my new job (I didn't break the continuous residency status).
Can she apply for US citizenship as we have almost completed 4 year and 9 months and have been maintaining a strong residency status since she returned from overseas? It looks like she could be eligible to apply as per the clause 316(b) under the UCSIC guidelines.
Kindly shed some light on it. Please help.
Any help and suggestions on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
JMD71
