From The U.S. to The U.K.

[VadnVince 24]

Appreciate the help and concern.  But some of the comments are making this more complicated than necessary.  The overall "Visa Journey" can be an anxious one as you delve into "fear of the unknown."  Ultimately, we've all found that sometimes we have information overload, in an attempt be "safe" because of those fears.  Up to and including the last step we've taken, "Removal of Conditions", had stressed us out, after listening to some much advice overload - and it wasn't THAT seriously complicated in the end.  Right now, Mum-in-law's in need of care at home, so daughter's going home.  I'm not attempting to go and overstay my visitor's visa, as I was first asking about.  Wife's not going to stay without returning until October 23, 2018.  And the REAL issue,  husband won't have $1,000 to start the N-400 process, probably until Spring! So - it's ALL GOOD!

https://citizenpath.com/travel-abroad-affects-citizenship-eligibility/  This outlines most stuff but still not found the article regarding leaving the US and working whilst waiting for N400.  Thing is your wife would have to come back for biometrics.

I know this.  Have flight privileges, WILL TRAVEL.

It's up to you guys,  I only gave you a suggestion to think about the N400 procedure, merely a suggestion!  And to be fair your comments are quite offensive to me.  Any way I am not going to let them ruin my day.   Good luck with your time in the UK.

The only restriction is the 12 month period.  

Try six months, which an absence in excess of is presumed to have broken the continuity of the continuous residence requirement for citizenship.

and caring for a home-bound relative is a "genuine reason" for an extended stay, as well. 

Not for an absence of over six months it isn't. 

It is permitted if overseas on government business, military orders, or for 'certain' US companies, or a few other reasons. 

 

Suggest you look at the law.

With all due respect, if you think you know it all, then why bother posting on an advice forum in the first place?

 

I - and others - can see where this may well go spectacularly wrong, but I wish you well with your journey of ignorance and arrogance.

You do you. But don't be surprised of the consequences as outlined in the prior links.
