I've been a Permanent Resident since 02/01/2008. I do have some trips outside of the US, but none were more than 6 months in duration. Below are the dates and duration that I was out of the US. When will I be eligible to file for naturalization?

1. 7/28/12 - 7/29/12 1 day

2. 5/11/12 - 5/29/12 19 days

3. 11/12/11 - 11/29/11 18 days

4. 11/12/10 - 12/1/10 20 days

5. 3/23/2008 - 6/19/08 89 days

6. 2/10/2008 - 3/13/08 33 days

No military service and I'm not married to a US citizen. I will be applying based on 5 years as a Permanent Resident.

Based on the early filing calculator on the USCIS website I can apply on 11/03/2012, as my 5 year anniversary will be on 02/01/2013. I'm just curious as to whether my early absences will have any effect on my eligibility.

you will be eligible when you hit exactly 5 years, 02/01/2013. this is considering that you will be residing in the same place for at least 3 months before you apply and you have been physically present in the US 30 months out of the 5 years that you have been here.

yes, your calculations are correct. you can apply as early as november because your 5 year will be on 02/01/2013.

your absences are fine. i've had more than you and everything turned out fine for me. they're more strict on outstanding violations such as tickets, criminal records, etc. those you would have to provide the necessary paperwork for during the interview. good luck!

I've calculated that I have a total of approximately 1560 days of physical presence in the US so I'm exceeding the 30 month requirement. I was just doubting for a moment regarding continuous residence. I had to take care of some issues soon after arriving in the US so had to leave but the longest absence was less than 3 months. I will file my application a couple days after the date I get from the early filing calculator just to be sure. Thanks for the replies!

You can mail your N-400 off on November 4, but I'd suggest to wait 'til November 10.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
