GC to Citizenship - Duration of stay in US required

[redforgreen]

For employment based LPR the time duration before one can apply for naturalization is 5 years.

a) For how long total, out of these five years one can stay outside of US.?
b) Is there any maximum time limit (e.g. 6 months or one year) for each travel outside US.?
c) Typical time frames between applying for naturalization and approval?.

I had a similar question. JoeF suggested me to look at "Guide to Naturalization" and I was armed with lot of knowledge. Once you go through that, please post your question and I am sure people in this forum will be happy to answer.

This depends on how fast your local USCIS operates. This varies from 6 months to a year and if they are more efficient then they can take longer.

I did check out the "Guide to Naturalization" today morning. There was indeed wealth of information. I got all the answers to my questions there. Thanks for pointing.
