4 year oversea PCS - problem for citizenship?

[chase2598 0]

My husband received the order to PCS to Japan back in 2008. My name was on the order. Now we are back in the states 4 years later and I am thinking about applying for US citizenship. I became the permanent residence in 2005. My not physically being in the states for 4 years becomes an issue when applying for US citizenship? I am hoping since it was a militry move that I am eligible to apply. Anyone with similar background?

Having a foreign duty station is classed as living on US soil for military dependants (if you were on their PCS orders). You should be fine, but if you need clarification, talk to the Military help line at USCIS and they can confirm it for you.

Being a dependent on military orders is the same as having been on US soil.
