Waiver for Citizenship available?

[kramvi]

If a person has not continuously been residing in the US or there are breaks in between, etc, is it possible for the applicant to apply for a waiver?

[inadmissible]

Yes, see https://www.uscis.gov/policymanual/H...-Chapter5.html

Thanks inadmissible for the info. From this thread it seems people like my father, though having a married child in the US who happens a US citizen, still cannot file for a waiver since he has not served in any of the qualifying positions described. I hope I am mistaken.

[inadmissible]

Sounds right. He will have to meet the continuous presence and physical presence himself

Note that an absence of less than 6 months does not break "continuous residence", and an absence of between 6 months and 1 year may or may not break "continuous residence", depending on the evidence you provide regarding your ties to the US during that time.
