I have been an Illinois permanent resident since Feb 2008. Because of medical emergency, I had to go abroad (back to my homecountry where I had better medical health care) from mid June 2012 to Dec 2013. But I came back to the U.S. within the 6 month period, so I had 3 longer trips (almost 6 months) outside of U.S. (166 days, 172 days and 177 days.) (I was not able to travel back to Illinois home because of my medical conditions. I went to Guam Island, closer to home.)
On N400 instruction, it states to submit document "If you have taken any trip outside the US that lasted 6 months or more since becoming a Lawful Permanent Resident, send evidence that you (and your family) continued to live, work and/or keep ties to the U.S. Send IRS transcript/tax return or Rent or Mortgage payments and pay stubs."
Do I have to submit those proofs together with my application even if those trips are less than 6 months? (almost 6 month trips) Or is bringing those proofs to the interview sufficient? Also, I did not file a 2013 tax return because my income was less than $400 for that tax return year but my parents claimed me as dependent on their tax return that year. My parents tax return should be enough to prove? And, I have other tax returns for other years.
Thank you so much.
