Acc to the lawyer I can apply for citizenship in
August 2014... plz help because acc to my calculations I can apply after 2 months...

They changed the rules of the game in th least year or so (don't remember the exact date it changed)... if you stay out for more than 6 months... they can revoke your green card now.

Too many people were getting them and continuing to live overseas... this was to shift the quotas to people who actually wanted to live here... not have a piece of paper that would let them come when they felt like it.

You must stay in US more than 50% of the time since you become permanent resident..
