Hello,

I need your help please? I got my GC on Feb 05/2009, in that year I went to my country for 7 weeks, and then in April 2010 I went to my country again and stayed for 5 months and half. So does it mean that I was abroad for 8 months? and can not apply for the citizenship or I'm fine? also I have a physical presence here in us 25 months in total!

Thank you in advance.

P.S: I want to apply 90days before the 3 years eligiblity

You are fine. The rule is that a SINGLE trip should not last longer than 180 days. You have two trips and each lasted less than 180 days.

My wife is not yet eligible, but from what I read on the USCIS website, you must be PHYSICALLY present in the U.S. at least 18 months. You should be fine
