My mother 89 years old has been a US PR since 06/14/2007 and carries an Indian Passport. We want to file and N-400 for her now but the issue is that in Feb 2024 she travelled to india for what was to be a brief visit but in june just prior to her return she slipped and fell and had a fracture in the leg where she already had had a knee translant. Due to her advanced age she was hospitalized for over a month and doctors had to do a megaprosthis which involved taking her old implannt out and putting a new one. Hospital stay was acompanied by a mandator 6 months physical therapy and followup visits to the surgeon/hospital plus there were nurological complications from anesthesia. Consequently she was able to fly back to US only in Jan 2025. Now we want to file her N400 and have a question wether it is possible to overcome continuous stay requiriement due to this incident. All the while in her absense all family was in US (sons), She had active bank accounts and investment accounts in US, active US health insurance and filed taxes. Otherside this the only other absense was August 2023-Dec 2023. The Travels from August 2023 were to sell property she owned in india.
Is it possibe to apply for N-400 for her and overcome continous presence requirements given her age and circumstances.
