Hi, I am applying to become a US citizen this year in June of 2023. I have been outside of the country for 840 days. I would like to know if I will have any issues with this? I have been a LPR since 2013 and this is my first time applying for US citizenship. If I apply in June and get the interview around 3 months later that will give me another 3 months inside the country, does this time also count towards my application? Does anyone have any experience with this?

I have the same thing more or less, would like to know if anyone has any input on this. I talked to many lawyers and some of them said no problems while others cited a rule (that I haven't found anywhere on USCIS) that if you stay more than 180 days in a single year outside the US you will be in trouble, even if the trips are 3 months in the country 3 months out etc...

Personally what USCIS says is that not a single trip has to be over 180 days "continuously", I haven't found anywhere, and I have read the laws that USCIS points to, and I found that they are talking about single trips lasting more than 180 days and not cumulative in a year.

So if anyone has any input here please let us know.

Thanks
