San Jose, CA - N-400 Timeline

All,
I am eligible to apply N400 as i got my GC on 05/11/2004. I have met all requirements of filing US Citizenship, except one clarification i need.
1) I have stayed in USA until May 2007 continously
2) I have moved to bangalore to work for the same company that is in USA on temporary assignment but always maintained my status by flying back to USA not exceeding 180 days.
3) there is one condition it says 90 days to be in the USCIS district or state before applying, i have stayed in the same state for last 10 years. Can i fly from india to USA and apply right away or have to wait for 90 day before i apply. Is that condition apply only for people who goes to different state and apply N400.

I would really appreciate if any one can provide clarification.

Moving to and working in India without an approved N-470 along with back and forth trips under 180 days will likely bring continuous residence into question.
As for returning and applying from US, that can be risky considering you are living and working in Bangalore.

There are quite a few cases. Wait a few days or weeks before getting worried. Family cases are no longer processed together. If you don't hear anything in several weeks you might want to do an Infopass to see if you are delayed on name check or something like that. I wouldn't worry for now.

Yes, I have seen that happening for two of my collegues. Their letter came almost 1 month after their spouses.
All the best

This is strange. From what I have seen so far, IL arrives at least 5 weeks before the interview. are you sure it's not July 21, 2009?
