I am 10 years green card holder, due to family reason and health issues I stayed in India for 5 months and less than 6 months. I am returning back to USA After 5 and half month. I worried will they revoke my green card,   Since I stayed those months in India will it effect my citzenship.? I am planing to apply for my in 2014.

Thank for your kind help.

You have nothing to worry about if you have stayed for less than 180 days. Your GC will not be revoked and your citizenship process will not be affected.

However, if you are planning on traveling again for another long stay abroad, that may cause problems. You need to prove that you are not abandoning your residence in the US.
