Will I be eligible for naturalization?
Background: My wife and I married on Sep. 9, 2010. At the time of our marriage, my wife was a U.S. citizen and I held work visa. My wife sponsored my greencard application before my visa expired and I received greencard on Feb. 1, 2012.
Issue: My compnay plan to transfer me to Malaysia or Argentina (not decided) in Oct./Nov. 2013 due to close of business in U.S, my employer and payroll will also transfer to Malaysia or Argentina. Once I work abroad, I plan to return U.S every 4-6 months and stay for 1 week to maintain my resident status. I will also keep my own house in Texas, so my wife can come back for long vacation purpose.
Question: By the end of Aug., 2013, I will have stayed in Texas for 18 months after receiving greencard. I was told that I will be eligible to apply for naturalization on Nov. 1, 2014 if stay in Texas. but since I will work abroad start from Oct./Nov 2013. Will I be eligible for naturalization after Nov. 1, 2014? What do I need to do if i want to be eligibile for naturalization? Thanks.
