    Hi, thank you for your informative videos. Please keep us updated on any new information concerning physical presence in the US when applying for naturalization (if the USCIS still checks the physical presence requirement not only in the past 5 years but from the time the green card was granted). Thank you🙏

    Thanks for your informative video. Now that the N-400 can be applied online can we be outside the US at the time of application? These 90 days residency in a forum you make the application shall be a physical presence inside that jurisdiction or having a permanent address, the State ID, the bank account and etc. would be enough.
    I mean the applicant's residential address is in Los Angeles California for example but at the time of filing N-400 online, she or is on a trip abroad, so she is not physically inside the US but has a permanent address and other proof of address does it make any issue later on? Highly appreciate it if you could answer that.

    I talked with 2 different USCIS people on the phone, and they told me that I can file my n-400 aboard. After traveling outside and finished filling my N-400 aboard, I realized there is an addition rule that a person has to stay in the resided state for 3 months before filling. I have met all the physical presence and continuous residency requirements, but filed my N-400 aboard. Will this be a problem? Thank you so much for answering!

    Hi,
    I got my GC in 03/2015, on 07/2016 I moved to the Dominican Republic to work as an expat for my US company. I stayed in the DR (Had travel documents/re-entry permit for me and my family for the whole time I was there). My contract ended in 12/2019. and im back in the USA since. Im confused as to when can I apply for naturalization. watching your video I see that I could apply in 12/2023? is this my only option?
    when you mention the change in law that they now look at any gaps even after 10-15 years... does having a re-entry permit make a difference?
    Thanks!

    My green card is almost 3 years now and I happen to still have my schooling to be finished here in my home country, I've been in the US for 7 months but then I came back to the Philippines and start the course of being an Aircraft maintenance, before all that I applied for a re-entry permit, now it is going to expire and I need to go back to the US for at least a year to continue my residency, I applied for a leave of absence in my school here and told them I will return to finish my studies formally. What are the grounds for me to still apply for a US citizenship, does having a green card for 3 years still counts? I know I still have to be physically living in the US for 2.5 years with no travels at all right?

Do we get credited with the lost time? We waited so long. In other words, do we have to wait less than the three years from the issue date of the green card to apply for citizenship? Note: my wife received the 10 year green card though.

However, in the last 5 years, I go on vacation at least 3 months every year to Philippines during summer break but I still stay in the US 9 months out of the year.

      No but like he said he needs to review your case like for example if you can’t prove you’ve been paying taxes on the us, if it looks like u work somewhere else and don’t pay American taxes for it. Generally if your docs look like you are clearly not living in the us. If you call the us home and that’s where you’re based then it should go super smooth.
