How long is recommended traveling on an esta after Noa2? 

I need to fly over for our now cancelled wedding to a dinner instead.

will 5 weeks away be too long and under suspicion? 

I need to come back for interview but I'm worried that staying too long will cause me not to be let in ?

You're not banned from traveling unless something has happened to make you inadmissible. So there's no reason not to come. No entry is ever guaranteed except fur USCs and you are no more and no less likely to be admitted this time than any other. 

Timeline in brief:

Married: September 27, 2014

I-130 filed: February 5, 2016

NOA1: February 8, 2016 Nebraska

NOA2: July 21, 2016

Interview: December 6, 2016 London

POE: December 19, 2016 Las Vegas

N-400 filed: September 30, 2019

Interview: March 22, 2021 Seattle

Oath: March 22, 2021 COVID-style same-day oath

 

Now a US citizen!

It's just so stressful hearing some people turned away ! 

I just have to risk it and make sure I have all paperwork to prove I'm coming home, I'm praying I at least have an interview date set up ! 

Thank you for reply 😀
