Started working in US based MNC, offshore development center at India since Feb 3rd, 2006

I received reentry permit in 2006 but I was not used reentry permit as I was always visting US on company assignments for less than 6 months. I always stayed less than 6 months outside US.
While I was in India I was working for US based MNC
While I was working India, I maintained my US friend's home address as my US address for all correspondances.

I always filed income tax returns.

I am staying in US continuously since 5/9/2009

Based on the above information When do I meet Physical Presence requirements?

Also do I meet continuous residence requirements as I never stayed more than 180 days outside US ?

Do I face any other problems as I was visting US only for 2 to 4 weeks since 2007 but never stayed more than 180 days outside US.
Thanks for your reply.

You should be fine if you didn't break 180 days. They could argue that you traveled specifically not to break it, but who knows. Depends on local USCIS policy, I guess. If you tell them that you worked for a US company that required you work in India, they might give you some leniency but no one can say for certain. The fact stands that you have met physical presence and continuous residence based on their own standards. You should give it a try, and after you get your citizenship, you can stop worrying about where you live, and for how long!
