Good day, so i called uscis today asking them about filing 90 days early for citizenship and the guy kept reading me the checklist are you 18 or older etc.. I said yes i am over 18 married for 5years to USC and a resident since 2/19/2013 but i left the country for almost 6months because i was getting my kids from the Philippines to the US and got delayed in the visa processing because of the typhoon act of GOD...i am supposed to have 3years residency last 2/19/2016 but since i was gone for 6months i assumed i have to wait 6more months to fill in the blanks which will be 3years this August 19,2016.

He kept telling me i cannot file 90 days early because i did not met the 3year residency.. Am i going stupid ?....or was he in a hurry to just bump me on the call list.

You're eligible. The requirement for physical presence in the US is at least 18 months out of the past 3 years, and your trip was not over 6 months so your continuous residence was not disrupted.
