Naturalization - 4 years + 1 day rule - doubt

[Kunalrd2000]

Hello,

I am trying to apply for naturalization under 4 years + 1 day rule.
However, I am not 100% sure If I am eligible for it due to days I have
spent outside of USA was more then 6 months. Please look at the
following dates:

Aug10,2004 departure from India
(First time to US)
Aug11,2004 Arrived to US

Aug26, 2006 Departure from US
12 Days
Sep 16,2006 Arrived to US

Nov20, 2006 departure from US
297 days Total days of spend outside of US is 392 Days
Sep 14, 2007 Arrived to US

Nov 11, 2008 Departure from US
25 Days
Dec 6, 2008 Arrived to US

Dec 25, 2010 departure from US
21 Days
Jan 16, 2011 Ariived to US

May 12, 2011 departure from US
28 Days
June 09, 2011 Arrived to US

I did file tax return in 2007 for 2006. I have copy of all my tax
return (received from IRS office).
However, I was staying with my uncle in CA therefor, I don't have
lease document and i dont have any bank transactions during that those
10 months neither any utlility bills for those 10 months.

Please suggest.

Also do i need to send them any other documents ?

Thanks
Anu

You're eligible to file 4 years + 1 day after your long return in 2007, assuming you received your GC in 2004.

When you entered that first time, was it with an Immigrant Visa packet that was then processed for a greencard? That would appear to be the case.
