will I be able to immediately obtain citizenship in two and a half years

FYI even if you apply for naturalization 3year - 90days its still going to take a while to process. LA FO processing times are 10.5-15months

Technically speaking you would be satisfying both physical and continuous residency requirements, however USCIS regulations state that: " An officer may also review whether an applicant with multiple absences of less than 6 months each will be able to satisfy the continuous residence requirement. In some of these cases, an applicant may not be able to establish that his or her principal actual dwelling place is in the United States or establish residence within the United States for the statutorily required period of time.^[10]"

https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-d-chapter-3

item C, therefore you may be asked to prove that you have kept your ties to the US during the first 2 and 1/2 years just like the case of a person who was absent for more than 6 months but less than a year. There are several ways to do that and you may check the USCIS as well as this forum to see what evedince may apply to you. Good luck

Thank you!

i don’t no will be this evidence or no, but why I not move it’s because I enter university before green card and wanna finish it for go to America with some educational. This Jan 2020 I apply fo re entry permit because of study and they approve it. How I understand, if i come to US each six month for some period, I don’t need to fill presumptive of the break, or no?

As noted, the continuous residence requirement is the biggest hurdle. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-d-chapter-3

The burden will be on you to show that you met it, although there is no statutory presumption to overcome given that no single trip was 6 months or longer.

The IO will make a determination if you did or did not actually do so.

 

It sounds like you would be abroad for ~10 months of the year over ~2.5 years. Is that right? If so, that would tend to make not confident in their decision.

 

Option 1) Apply at 5  years, make your case, and hope the IO agrees. If so, great. if not, you can try again once you do qualify.

Option 2) Wait until you clearly have 5 years of continuous residency then apply.

Hello!
In 2017, I received a green card, but I came to America every six months for a few days for this 2/5 years. I am studying at a University in Russia and have no income. I'm going to come permanently this summer 2020. I read the form for naturalization and there is such a question about filing a tax declaration. Should I have filled it out if I don't have an income in the United States and in my country of citizenship, should I fill it out now (it seems that the deadline was extended due to the coronavirus?
Thank you!

Seems like it was even less than 2 months per year

 

OP save yourself the $640 your naturalization wont be approved if its true you only spent a few days a year here

If you have no income there is no need for tax return in the US.

If you have not kept ties with the US like a rented living place, bank account, credit cards, utility bills...etc, then you will not be approved. The second issue is with your re-entry permit, you may benefit from the 4 years +1 day rule.

You will not be naturalized before properly satisfying the requirements. I suggest that you consult an immigration attorney to give the best advice.

I apply for  re-entry permit just in case, in fact I was going to continue to enter for a month every 6 months. It was approved only in this April. But now I want to leave permanently this summer. If I didn't use the "permit", it probably can't affect it? Because out of 5 years, half of them will be physically present in the USA by 2023. 

And if for example I get rejected first time when can I try again and will the first refusal affect the second request?

This looks exactly like you only came back to the US to "touch down". I would not expect an IO to be convinced that continuous residency was not abandoned.

No harm in filing beforehand and making your case, other than the filing fee and time/effort. But I think waiting for 5 year upon your upcoming ("permanent") return is a better option personally.

Your best option is to wait 5 years from the date you permanently stayed in the US. You can try applying before that if you do not mind spending the application fee of $720. Refusal of your application will not affect your second application when submitted properly.
