The length and frequency of trips aren't something that would trigger continuous residency issue. Have you schedule an Infopass lately for an update on your case?

no i have not but waiting for the 120 days to be over . the middle east trips are my real concern . will they cause problems in decision
You are fine. I had about 9 or 10 back to back trips of about 2 to 3 months each. Carry all your tax papers and other evidence to demonstrate ties to this country during that period. i.e, Rental, mortgage, bank statements etc.
For a permanent resident alien who must leave the United States for certain employment purposes and wishes to preserve his or her status as an immigrant in order to pursue naturalization.
If you do not know what it is you probably aren't qualify.

How long are the trips and is this for work with a US company?
They shouldn't be an issue unless you they were so frequent or unless you worked with a non company while in the middle east.
Not more than 3-4 days, unfortunately (a couple of times I did take some days off, brought my wife with me and extended my stay in the area though).
The parent company is not a US company, but I'm employed by the US branch.
That shouldn't be an issue in your case.
I went for interview last week,my total days out were 550..4 trips to india,few are 150+days(less than 180)..but IO never asked me any question about the trips..i had one trip to canada for 3-4 days..he asked me if i had any more trip to canada...but he got my passport to make sure the information about trips..

HelpHelp1,I suspect that USCIS might be closely examining your case because of Saudi trips. I can assure you that even if you weren't seen holding hands with some Saudi King and walking him to a ranch, someone in the higher echelons of the govt will be interested in your case...
I can see everyone here saying that is won't be an issue, they might be right, but I would put my money on USCIS to closely dig into your case before making an approval. So, you should expect them to do all research before satisfafying themselves that you are clear to be issued a US citizenship. If you file a lawsuit under the 120 day rule, USCIS will most likely fight with you too...Remember that about 80% of 9/11 hijackers were Saudi, so US govt has interest in closely monitoring anyone who frequent Saudi Arabia, even for innocuous business travel. Unfortunately, I can't travel to Saudi as they don't allow kosher food and kosher people.......

mazel tov ... Yep, you need a secret stamp on your passport or you will face some music when you arrive in Jerusalem...
Just google " jews traveling to Saudi Arabia".... amazing how many articles are ou there...861000..9 trips with a total of 740 days overseas. 4 of the 9 trips ranged between 130-160 days with 1 to 5-week gaps. I was employed overseas by a US-based company for 18 months. I had a re-entry permit and an approved N-470.
