Applying for a Citizenship with 460 days out of the USA

[GilbertC]

Hi I am willing to apply for citizenship. I am a permanent resident since oct 2007, however for the last 5 years I have been traveling a lot and was out of the USA for 460 days. Will that be a problem, may my application be denied? The USA is country of my permanent residency and I have been paying taxes every year. Please advice. Thank you very much

I think if your didn't exceed the 180 days in a single trip and there is a correct period between your trips (let's say 1 year between every trip) it shouldn't be a problem (just an opinion)

Hi Gilbert,

I am in an very similar situation and I travelled for 461 days too. Have you consulted a lawyer? Are there any updates? I am speaking to a lawyer soon and will share my experience.

Thanks,
