Hello,
With the elections coming up, I would really like to be a citizen very soon so I can vote... unfortunately, I've been in and out of the country a lot because of school.
I've been a resident since 1987 for eight straight years before leaving for school... (I know I should've gotten it then) been in the country now for over a year, but had a business trip out of the country for 4 months...
Is it possible to get my citizenship now? Or will I have to wait again and build up my continuous stay here?
I've left the country roughly five times the past five years... with one trip exceeding 1 year.Most of the time, I'm out of the country for 6-7 months until 2006... Since March 2006, I've settled here with my new job.
Hope someone can shed light to this... If this case is even possible... or will I just have to wait again, which I don't mind doing anyway... was just hoping I can get to vote.
Thank you.
Los Angeles, CA
