Naturalization immediately after 5 years.

[John4321 3]

I got a green card in 2017. Because of my training in my native country, I went to the US every six months for a month for these two and a half years. Without interrupting the 180-day period. If I go to the United States for permanent residence this summer, will I be able to immediately obtain citizenship in two and a half years? Isn't it doomed to fail? Because it turns out that for 5 years I was actually present completely for 2.5 years, and the second part went once every six months.

First of all, if you come to the US in the Summer of 2020, you will have only been an LPR for three plus years.  Additionally, you will have to demonstrate you lived in a USCIS district for three months.  
 

Good Luck!

Yes you will meet the residency and time requirements in 2 1/2 years.

Ok, I don't know this. How delete it?

I got a green card in December 2017 and went to the US every six months(without breaking the 180-day window) for about 3-4 weeks. If I move permanently this summer of 2020, I can also count on naturalization, for example in January 2023. (That is, it turns out 2.5 years from December 2017 to summer 2020 and 2.5 years from summer 2020 to winter 2023. Technically, all the rules will be followed, but what is the chance of approval?

While you may have been allowed entry to US almost every 6 months just for few weeks, it could be presumed you may have broken continuous residency when the IO sees your multiple trips in such fashion. In that case yours will be denied so be prepared to show evidences of maintaining residency.

But I wanna stay for 2,5 years without this traveling. What do you mean " prepared to show evidences of maintaining residency."

Apologies, it is my wife that is Russian, and even though I am learning the language, it is still difficult for me.  

 

So, if you come permanently in say June of 2020, or whenever travel allows, then yes, in January or so of 2023 you would meet the residency requirement assuming you do not leave the US.  Keep in mind you still have to meet the 3 month rule living in a USCIS district, so if you move around the US in that 2.5 year period, that clock would reset.

 

Good Luck!

 

Note: there is a regional forum for Russia on VJ where you can use Russian if desired.

There are two types of residency you need to maintain, physical and continuous.

Physical: presence of 36 months or 2.5 years total in 5 years which you are going to do.

Continuous: You have not stayed for more that 6 months outside for sure but when the officer sees you came back for less than a month and went back for another 6 months multiple times, he/she may ask for evidences of maintaining continuous residency. It’s better If they don’t ask, but just in case, better be prepared.

Just the 3 month clock. Naturalization applications are handled by USCIS local offices which are spread around the country in districts.  Some states have multiple offices, and some jus one for the entire state.  You can move around within a USCIS district, but if you move to a new USCIS district, you have to be there for at least 3 months before you can submit the N400, assuming you meet all the other residency requirements.

Technically speaking you would be satisfying both physical and continuous residency requirements, however USCIS regulations state that: " An officer may also review whether an applicant with multiple absences of less than 6 months each will be able to satisfy the continuous residence requirement. In some of these cases, an applicant may not be able to establish that his or her principal actual dwelling place is in the United States or establish residence within the United States for the statutorily required period of time.^[10]"

https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-d-chapter-3

item C, therefore you may be asked to prove that you have kept your ties to the US during the first 2 and 1/2 years just like the case of a person who was absent for more than 6 months but less than a year. There are several ways to do that and you may check the USCIS as well as this forum to see what evedince may apply to you. Good luck
