  • Will my long trips abroad in 2015 broke my continuous residency for US Citizenship?

    Hello everybody. I became a permanent resident in May 2011. I took 4 travels abroad, for a total of 317 days and I will travel abroad for 37 days on January, 2016. My travels are:
    10/01/2012 - 10/21/2012 (20 days abroad)
    12/31/2012 - 01/25/2013 (25 days abroad)
    11/13/2014 - 05/08/2015 (177 days abroad)
    05/18/2015 - 08/20/2015 (95 days abroad)
    01/13/2016 - 02/18/2016 (37 days abroad)

    Can I file N-400 on February 2016? Will my long trips abroad in 2015 broke my continuous residency? Is it advisable to cancel my international trip from 01/13/2016 to 02/18/2016? Thanks for your help.

    i think you just barely made it lol.. according to the USCIS publicationsthere are two aspects of residence you need to 'pass': Physical Presence and Continuous Residence. The first says you need to have a total of 30months in the US( quick math shows you're out10-11 months out of 60 , so you're good), and the second requires each trip to not be longer than 6 month. that makes that 177days trip pretty close, but still under 6mos . Try to stick around until you become citizen lol. PM me if you want a coupon for a good&inexpensive site I found to apply for citizenship.
