N-8 to PERM question
 
Can anyone advise whether an adjustment from N-8 to permanent resident is possible without having to resort to a family preference petition (namely if the N-8 sponsor reaches adult age and is not yet a US citizen herself)? Thanks.

Broader phrasing of the above query: Does anyone have any experience with converting from G-4 status to permanent resident? How does USCIS calculate "continued residency" for meeting the "half of 7 years' residency" requirement for G-4s, i.e. just how continuous is "continuous" in their view? Is an absence of 4 months a break in continuity for them?

Hi:

Don't have the experience myself. However, by analogy to other areas of the law which require "continued residency", I would think not. Also, the old "Fleuti" line of cases of "brief, innocent and casual" would probably be a guideline.

BTW, you prior inquiries were regarding an absence of 5 years by a permanent resident.

???
