can i take a trip abroad while waiting to be naturalized?

Alright so I submitted my N-400 in December, I had the biometrics appointment in February.. I'm thinking to take a 10-day trip abroad at the end of the month (April) to see my family. I just wanted to double check if that's ok, if traveling abroad should not interfere with the naturalization process...

I'm a permanent resident by the way, married almost 4 years to a US citizen.

Thanks in advance!

I was told you can and as a matter of fact I did go overseas about 2 months after I filed my N-400. I was told you can update your travelling record at the interview. If I am wrong someone will correct me I am sure.

You can travel. When you have your interview, you will tell the IO that you went out of the country and for how many days. There will be no problem. Good Luck and happy travels!!

Yes, you can travel. A short trip like you're planning shouldn't present any issue, but if someone is reading this planning a lengthy stay abroad after filing an N-400, remember that you must meet the requirements regarding continuous residence and physical presence both on the day you send you form in, and on the day of your interview. A long trip abroad might present a problem.
