Hello, I was reading about this subject on the other forum and this is what the law says:
Residence and Physical Presence
An applicant is eligible to file for U.S Citizenship if, immediately preceding the filing of the application, he or she:
has been lawfully admitted for permanent residence (see preceding section);
has resided continuously as a lawful permanent resident in the U.S. for at least 5 years prior to filing with no single absence from the United States of more than one year;
has been physically present in the United States for at least 30 months out of the previous five years (absences of more than six months but less than one year shall disrupt the applicant's continuity of residence unless the applicant can establish that he or she did not abandon his or her residence during such period)
has resided within a state or district for at least three months
I called BCIS and per them ASYLEE who have their green card can apply for U.S Citizenship and don't have to wait for 4 years. GC proves their admittance as PR and Asylee status proves their lawful permanent residency status.
I dont know if its true. CAn anyone verify? This is exciting actually.
