Will two weeks matter ????
I have received green card March 2002, left the country for German language courses in Europe for February 2003 for approx (6,5 months ) returned in September 2002 and stayed in US for the rest of the time.
I have language certifications from Austria. Do you think I will have problem when I will be applying for citizenship in 8 months? Will language courses qualify as proof that I did not abandon my residency in US permanently? I have maintained my bank and credit card statements but I did not have any lease or insurance while I was out of the country. Will these extra 2 weeks ruin my chances of applying for citizenship sooner? |

The burden is on YOU to prove that you did not break the continuous residency requirements for naturalization.
You shoudl bring everything : tax returns filed as a resident, bills, rent , paystubs, ... Unfortunately, you will only know at the interview. You are in the gray area : 6m< trip< 1year. In the event you get denied, you loose a couple of hundred dollars, but you can still reapply when you are eligible.
