Citizen out of country

[Shaikh]

Is there a limit to the period a US citizen could stay out of USA. A friend of mine after becoming US citizen (after 1.5 months) went overseas and has been out of USA for 4 years now. Would he face any problems when he returns next month.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks

Tax

Don\'t he has to pay tax return every year to IRS? Both from us and any income from foreign country where he stays.

yes. he has to pay tax every year for both US and foreign income. But, he could hire a CPA to take care of it for him or file electronically without coming to the US. many people have gone back to live in their country of birth after having become naturalized american citizens.
