Subtract vacation time from 5yrs requirement ?

[bonbon]

We have completed the required 5 (minus 90 days) years this week. However we took three vacations outside US in the past 5 yrs. Each vacation was less than 1 month (30 days). Do we need to add them up and then subtract the total number of days from the 5 years requirment ? If that is true, then we would have to wait about 2 more months to file. Please let us know if that is required or if we can file without substracting.

Thanks,

You are good to apply after 5 years minus 90 days though you have been outside USA few times and none of the visits lasted more than 30 days each time.

Any vacation trips that were less than six months do not break residency requirements....you do not need to substract that time....
