Hello,
I am a 9+ years LPR about to submit N400 for naturalization and I have lived and worked in the US full time during this period. However as a tenured university faculty I applied for and was awarded faculty fellowship leave for one academic year to pursue research in my field. Since much of this research was conducted overseas, I was out of the US continuously for a period of about 200 days during 2015, which triggers the 6 month continuous residence rule. During the period of my absence there was no intent to abandon residence and no practical disruption of continuous residence. I remained employed full time, retained ownership of my property, bank accounts and paid US taxes and paid all my bills during this period. I am able to provide evidence of all these facts. What other evidence if any would I need to submit to avoid my absence being treated as a disruption of continuous residence? Thank you.
