Question regarding citizenship applying eligibility

[Feb2005]

Hi,

Question regarding citizenship applying eligibility.

I got my green card in March 2008. I will be eligible to apply for citizenship in Dec 2010. However, I want to go to Bangladesh in August 2010 and stay there 3/4 months. So, my question is- after I come back let's say in Dec 2010 or Jan 2011, do I have to start over to get the time requirement for citizenship or I just wait out 3/4 months and then I can apply in April 2011.

Since getting GC I've been out of the country as below:

May 2008- 1 month
Jan 2009- 3 weeks
Nov 2009- 2 weeks (coming up)

Thanks!
