Has anyone filed for naturalization after working abroad?

[JohnCleese]

I have a job offer abroad that I plan to take up for one year (more to take care of my parents during these trying times). My family will join me. I plan to file N-400 after coming back to the US (ideally, with a job here). I got a reentry permit, will try to maintain ties to the US (taxes as a resident, paying rent). Assuming I can somehow meet the continuous residency requirement during this time, I would like to know what I can expect during the interview, and how good my chances are of a successful application.

Can anyone who has applied after such an absence share their interview experience?

Yes, I have worked abroad a lot and despite calling the US my home for 30+ years, I was unable to complete my citizenship process until very recently. The key rule to avoid breaking your continuous residence and make sure your come back every 6 months. A re-entry permit does not 'save' your continuous residence for naturalization purposes - I learned this the hard way. You may want to speak to a lawyer.

Thanks. Can you share some questions about your overseas employment in the interview and how you answered them? And what kind of ties did you maintain in the US while you were away?
