N400
Hi,
Can someone please help me answer this question about 5 yrs rule? I and my wife both have now completed 5 yrs on GC and I applied for naturalization back in Feb'21. We got the notice that biometrics will be reused and waiting now to be called for interview. My wife had stayed for almost 8 months out of the country back in 2018 as she couldn't travel back after a visit due to medical conditions, however, I continued my stay here and she maintained her bank a/c, name on the lease, etc. during that period and have submitted tax returns, lease agreement, etc. as additional info while filing N400 online for all the 5 years which bears both of our names.

Now that, N400 has been accepted and biometrics reused, does it mean that I shouldn't be worried about the 8 months stay outside (which potentially can be treated as a break in the physical presence rule unless evidenced) or is it the responsibility of interviewer to validate this information before approving the citizenship? Really appreciate if anyone has an understanding of how this will be treated.
