I got my biometric appointment after 60 days. I got the whole process done (Got new GCs) exactly on 5 month anniversary of application. This was about 1.5 years back and in Colorado.

Is this because the long stays were in last 5 years or this can be an issue even with stays older than 5 years?

Thanks guys..I really appreciate your help. Do they actually look at last 5 years on continuous residency or since one became LPR? I know everyone keeps talking about last five years but if you look at the N-400 form, it asks you to explain in detail the reason why you were out of USA for...

Thanks Jackolantern As far as ties with US goes, I filed my taxes, I had bank accounts here, and I had lots of extended family (my maternal uncle) with whom I have lived for 1/3 of my life in US in that house. In fact that house address was my official address for many of my early tax filings...
