To apply for US citzenship, do I need to be present physically in my address in the USA prior to filling or only it is enough to maintain a residency?
The law requires that the applicant must have resided in that location for at least 3 months prior to filing. I was physically present in the US for more than 4 years.

Hello. Your question is unclear and contains ambiguity. Do not submit any application until you have sought proper counsel. You may phone me for help if you wish. Some attorneys are available seven days for emergency legal needs. Many attorneys will confer initially at no charge. Then, if legal work is performed, some attorneys will provide a reduced fee for financial hardship. Some attorneys may also assist you in limited scope manner to conserve legal costs. All the best.
