U.S Re-Entry Permit Issue

[erum]

Hi,

I have been issued a Re-Entry permit twice (each was granted for a period of two years). Both of the times, I left U.S. right after applying and my permits came after 3-4 months of the date of applying. I came back within the expiration date of the permits but the total period i.e. the day I left U.S and the day I came back to U.S exceeded a total of two years.

For my First Re-entry permit: Total time outside U.S. = 26 Months
For my Second Re-entry permit: Total time outside U.S. = 27 Months

Since I came back within the expiration date, I did not have any problems at the port of entry into the U.S but can I have a problem during my nationality interview?

Thanks,
Erum

P.S. I have retained a permanent address and filed all income tax returns during the permission time.

You followed the law to the letter, and have nothing to worry about. When applying for naturalization make sure you don't file prematurely.
