I have applied N-400, 90 days before 5 year requirement and went out of country for offshore project assignments for 178 days in 3 trips. I was out of country for 195 days after I got GC and before applying N-400. I might have to go again for another 10 days. I am really concerned if it affects my continuous residency requirement. Thanks for any suggestions.
 
Can you disclose your timeline to clarify your travel dates? For example, the 195 days outside the country after you got GC..was that one single trip?

Bobysmith, thanks for your prompt response. My 195 days out of country trips spanned across 4 years after I got GC and before applying N-400. None of them were more than 2 months. Got GC in Mar 2003 and Applied N-400 in Dec 2007. I am already done with FP also. I am working a US employer.
 
Forgot to mention, I made only single trip in each one of the 4 years, not more than 2 months.
 
Since your travel dates were spread out over several years they didn't break your continuous residency requirement. From the travel dates you mentioned , I don't see any issues.
