Number of trips and time out of US

[g65nov 0]

Hi all,,

We are getting ready to file my wife's N-400 and we were putting together a list of trips and time out of the us for the form. I work for the airlines and as such, my wife has quite a few short trips to Colombia and three cruises to Mexico and the Carribbean over the past 3 years. Is this a problem for the citizenship interview? The total is 14 trips and a total of 104 days in the past 3 years. All of them were less than 3 weeks each and some were just a couple of days like when we went to Niagra Falls. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Also, it says in the past five years on the form. Am I correct in assuming that if we are applying using the three year residency requirment due to our marriage then the question should be interpreted to ask in the past three years how many times out of the US?

Thanks!

Greg

If you haven't spent over 6 mths on any one trip you be fine..as this would disrupt your C/R

Over 1 yr outside will re-set the C/R
