[goshopbg]

Hi all.
In the N-400 instructions it says:"Write every address where you have lived during the last five years(including in other countries)."
I have been outside the USA for 5 months every year.I traveled a lot but most of the time I was spending in my native coutry.Should I provide USCIS with the addresses where I stayed in my country???
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards

For 5 months trips outside the US you would not indicate your address as outside the US unless it was your intention of actually living there instead of just visiting.

Thank you Bobsmyth.
To be honest I was living there.
Is it better not to mention this address in N-400?
Most probably they will question me about that.
According to the instructions I should give them the address outside the USA.
Best Regards

If you've been regularly spending 7 months every year in the US, those 5 month trips can be considered extended visits and you don't need to list the foreign address.

Once you list a foreign address, it will be seen as an admission that you became a resident of that country and will practically doom your application, unless you have an acceptable reason to be "living" abroad such as being in the US military, or working abroad with an N-470.

If you lived in your home country for 5 months every year and did not maintain a primary abode in the US, it could be seen as a break in continuous residency.
