Inquiry Regarding Eligibility for U.S. Citizenship Based on Travel History

[MMPL]

Hi Team,
I became a Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) of the United States on April 8, 2019, as indicated by my Green Card.

I left and returned to the U.S. on the following dates:

Left the U.S.	Returned to the U.S.	Country Visited
May 27, 2019	August 30, 2019	Canada
October 1, 2021	June 9, 2022	Canada
August 22, 2022	June 13, 2023	India
June 30, 2024	July 6, 2024	Canada

Can someone assist me in determining if I am eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship based on the information provided?

personally for the most stress free route i would consider eligibility timeline reset when you returned from India in June 2023 and used that as my new starting point.

During this period

October 1, 2021	June 9, 2022	Canada
August 22, 2022	June 13, 2023	India

you were out of the US for 18 out of 20 month period and personally i'm not sure that you would pass the continuous residence requirement for citizenship. As shown from their website


"Extended absences outside of the U.S. may disrupt an applicant’s continuous residence.

• Absences of more than six months but less than one year may disrupt an applicant’s continuous residence unless the applicant can prove otherwise, (see legal basis, see policy manual)
• Absences in excess of one year or more may disrupt an applicant’s continuous residence, (see legal basis, see policy manual)"

"
As each absence was less than 12 months you might be able to prove that you did not abandon residence but you would need to provide plenty of evidence that you life was still based in the US.

This would no doubt be a way more stressful experience.

Hope this helps
