Confused about continuous residence requirement!!

[Smirk]

Hi
Please, I need some help understanding the continuous residency requirement for someone married to a US citizen.

Do you have to stay in the US for 3 years without leaving the country at all or is 3 months in that 3 year period ok to travel abroad without a break in continuity?

Thanks very much for your input.

Smirk.

Foreign travel of less than six months' duration is presumed to NOT break continuous residence.

Thanks so much
I had to double check because I read other threads with different answers and got confused despite reading the real Guide to naturalization on the USCIS site which basically said what you said.

If you are curious about how this relates to naturalization, read 8 CFR 316.5 on www.uscis.gov laws tab.

You are free to travel, just not excessively.
