The three-month state residence requirement is not applicable to those returning to the same state or U.S.C.I.S. field office jurisdiction after the trip abroad. As long as you are still returning to the same residence, you can apply for your citizenship at this time.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
