I am green card holder since 07/10/2012,
From 12/29/2012 to 06/20/2013 I left US for studying purpose: 6 months and 2 days total.
Since then I have never violated continuous residence requirement and never left US more than 6 months.
If , starting from 06/20/2013 when I returned back, 5 years continuous residency and physical presence requirements meet again on 06/20/2018, can I file Form N-400 90 days earlier?
I consulted with an Attorney and she told me that I had to wait 5 years + 3 months from 06/20/2013 because I had broken continues residence requirement.
Then I consulted with another Attorney who told me I could file the Form N-400 90 days before 06/20/2018
I am very confused now and I do not know what to do or believe to whom
Please, help !help! help! can I file the Form N-400 90 days earlier ???
I really appreciate any your advice and suggestion.
Thank you!
