Hi There. One of the requirements for filing N400 (Naturalization) is to maintain residence at least for 90 days prior to filing the application. Does it mean maintaining a residence? Or does one have to be physically present in USA for 90 days immediately before filing of N400. In my case I have returned from India last week (after a five month stay there). Can I file my N400 if the other requirements are met? Further, I have stayed for over three years in the current home. Would appreciate advice on this.

Also, I have been holding a Green Card for almost eight years. During this period, I have visited India four times, but in each case for less than six months. Would that be a red flag for the immigration officer?

Thanks.
 
It just means resident, not physically present.

Four visits to India shouldn't be a problem, unless they were back-to-back, in which case they only could be a problem for continuous residence purposes. If your travel was spread evenly over the eight years, you have nothing to worry about.
