Dear Friends,

Thanks in advance for your time.

I am trying to clarify the following

I got my LPR on May 9th 2002.

I went to Europer in 2002 = 15 days

I went to India in 2003 = 60 days

I went to India in 2006 = 80 days

The number of days that I spent in total outside USA

= 155 days.

Now, do I become eligible to apply on Feb 10 2007, that is
exactly 4 years 276 days after getting LPR ? aka 89 days before the 5 year deadline.

Do I need to add my 155 days to my May 9th 2002 which is October 14th 2007. Then subtract 90 days from it which makes it July 14th 2007 to apply ?

My understanding is that

Condition 1 = You have to wait 5 years after LPR to apply.

Condition 2 = You have to have spend 3 years of those 5 in the USA.

Condition 3 = You should not have spent more than 6 months continiously outside the United States at a stretch.

Anything I am missing.

Please help.

With Regards,

I would say you will be eligible to apply in Feb 2007. That is if you do not leave the US for more than 6m in 2006.
You will have spent the required 30m in the US. And none of your trips was for more than 6m.
So, you should not have broken the continuous residency.
