When Should I apply for Citizen?

[uspeed]

Hi,

I have got the green card back in Nov 2013, but was out of the country in May 2014 for 2 years using reentry permit.

Here is my dates :

To India	To USD	Outside	In USA
	1-Nov-2013	USA	187
7-May-2014	13-Apr-2016	707	281
19-Jan-2017	17-Feb-2017	29	699
17-Jan-2019	20-Mar-2019	62	41
30-Apr-2019	12-Oct-2019	165	31
12-Nov-2019	3-Sep-2020	296	535

My concern is I was of the country Nov 2019 for 10 months (296 days) due to covid travel restriction I could not travel back within six months. During that time I had my bank account, filed taxes.
Did I break my residency? I had proof of ticket which has been canceled by airlines as travel was banned in India from Mar 2020 to Aug 2020.

Can I apply now , ( calculator says I can apply ) if not when can I apply?

Please advise, appreciate help in this.

What calculator did you use? Are you talking about the Eligibility check?

https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship-resource-center/learn-about-citizenship/naturalization-eligibility

I think that you didn't break the 1 year you can apply but you must be able to rebut the presumption of a break in the continuity of residence. See:

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

Especially section C. 1. and C. 3. Good luck.

You can apply. I don’t think you will be approved.

I think if you want until 180 days before 3-Sep-2025 you will succeed.
