Hello I read somewhere the following:

"If the applicant is unable to establish that he/she did not disrupt residence, he/she will be ineligible for naturalization. The applicant will be eligible to re-apply for naturalization, four years and one day (two years and one day if applying under section 319(a) of the Act) from the most recent date that he/she returned to the United States. See the letter from the Headquarters Office of Naturalization and Special Projects to Messr. Kiblan and Battles dated September 22, 1993, located in Appendix 74-13 ."

So if they decide that you disrupted continuous residence, are you eligible to apply from the most recent entry to the US or from the last date you resumed continuos residency? What does returned to US mean here? Reestablishing residency or returning to US for the last time?
