Здравствуйте! вот уже подходит срок 5ти лет со дня получения гринкарты, но есть сомнения подавать на гражданство или нет, потому что:
первый раз прилетел в США - пробыл 1 год, потом вернулся обратно в россию и был там почти 11 месяцев, затем было несколько путешествий за пределы США, но все меньше 1.5 месяца … что можно придумать? кто реально сталкивался с таким вопросом? есть знающие адвокаты ? спасибо !
вот что они пишут по этому поводу:
(i) For continuous periods of between six (6) months and one (1) year. Absences from the United States for continuous periods of between six (6) months and one (1) year during the periods for which continuous residence is required under § 316.2(a)(3) and (a)(6) shall disrupt the continuity of such residence for purposes of this part unless the applicant can establish otherwise to the satisfaction of the Service. This finding remains valid even if the applicant did not apply for or otherwise request a nonresident classification for tax purposes, did not document an abandonment of lawful permanent resident status, and is still considered a lawful permanent resident under immigration laws. The types of documentation which may establish that the applicant did not dis rupt the continuity of his or her residence in the United States during an extended absence include, but are not limited to, evidence that during the absence: (Amended 9/24/93; 58 FR 49913)
(A) The applicant did not terminate his or her employment in the United States;
(B) The applicant’s immediate family remained in the United States;
(C) The applicant retained full access to his or her United States abode; or
(D) The applicant did not obtain employment while abroad.
