Hello Gurus,

I have a question on citizenship eligibility.

I am eligible to apply for a citizenship on Sept 5th 2012 90 days before my 3rd anniversery which is 4th Dec 2012.

However I have to travel out of country for work by end of this month and will be back after 3 weeks. So it will be mid of August. But I see one of eligiblity condition in USCIS.gov that I have to live in the same address 90 days before I apply for citizenship.

Therefore if I travel and come back on August 15th should I wait for 90 days from August 15th to file for citizenship?

Please help me.

Thank you

Are you MOVING overseas or just visiting? Are you returning to the same address before you left? If you're simply going overseas for 3 weeks and then coming back to the same address (so you never moved) then you HAVE lived at the same address 90 days prior to filing on Sept 5th.

This rule is so people don't move from say Iowa to California and then file immediately. They need to establish residency. You've done that. File Sept 5th if you want.

Wow. Thats great. Thank you so much. Actually I'd been travelling from Feb. I went to Singapore twice for work and came back 10 days before. But my total stay out of country was 107 days. Let say if I go for 3 more weeks to Brazil and be back before Sept 5th. I still can apply for a citizenship right?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help.

You just have to maintain residency at an address for 90 days. Sounds like you're just traveling (for example if you're renting you're not moving out of your apartment, you'll keep renting that place); traveling doesn't count unless you're spending a LOT of time overseas. You're fine there.
