Thanks! I had no idea it would go this fast so fingers crossed!

Filed the N-400 on 3/29, received the first note on 4/1 and got an update of reusing biometrics and interview scheduled on 5/7! Boom, that was fast! According to friends in the region, Idaho, everybody who do the interview gets their Oath Ceremony on the same day. Might be done with this USCIS stuff in less than a month! Green card since 2018.

Haha yeah I'm sure they do

Oh no, I meant that once I got approved for a GC we moved. Then it took a few weeks before I actually received the GC but we were in the US by then. Sorry.

Yeah I agree. I just looked at my calendar and see that we've been here on this date 3 years in a row. But that's not the same thing so, you're right. Guess I'll wait another year Think I will.

But will it decrease my chances? I don't want to apply and pay $725 now, if they'll just turn it down because of this. Especially since we won't move back any longer and I could wait to apply and be 100% sure that I fulfill the continuous residence requirement. This tells me it's ok, as I haven't been out of the country over 6 months in the last 3 years.

I counted the last 3 years as the continuous residence, but I see now that that is incorrect. Basically, no point in applying now then.

Not quite sure what you mean? GC date is September 18, 2018, we moved almost on the day when it was approved. So yes, a total of 16 months outside the US.

So I just realized that I've been in the US for 3+ years with a few months in Europe during this time, but before I apply for the N400 and pay the $725 fee, I want to be sure. My timeline is as such: 18 September 2018 - GC approved, moved to the US. 1 June 2019 - Family emergency, moved back to Europe. 18 June 2020 - Came to the US, stayed only to 25 July, then back to Europe. 18 November 2020 - Moved to the US and have been here ever since. Counting from June 18, 2020, this is our 3rd year here with a couple of months out of the country in 2020, July-Nov. Technically this should be all good and dandy but I still have a feeling I should wait a year or something. Thoughts, inputs?
