Business Travel

[insead00]

All,

I hope you can help. I am in sales and marketing for a tech company in the US. I'm coming up on my 5yr-90day deadline and am trying to fill out my N-400. The questions I have are

a) Is my business travel considered time out of country for residency purposes ? I travel out of the country in 2 week bursts for about 3 months each year.

b) Someone told me that if I had been out of the country more than a 100 days, I have to wait till the full 5 years is up before I apply - is that true ?

c) I have about 50 trips out of the country and can't make head or tail of the stamps in my passport for exit and entry dates. Anyone have a similar experience and how did you handle it ?

Thanks in advance for your help. I'll update my signature when I apply.

CIS doesn't care about your reasons for being out of the country. The fact that you travelled out is the only relevant point. You need to figure out a way to track your travel dates. If you travelled on business, perhaps your company has such records.
