Good day guys,
Have one question which is torturing me:

I received a green card in March 2017, arrived for 8 days (stayed at father's house and it was my first residency and applied for SSN) and then left the US because needed to complete my graduation in university. I stayed abroad 5.5 months (173 days), evaluated my diploma and then returned to the United States in September 2017.
After that I changed my residency, created bank account, found job, etc. In March 2018 I had a trip for 2 weeks, then in August 2018 for 1 month, and 3 more times in 2019 and 2021 for 1 month, the total absence for all 5 years is about 10 months.
According to the 90-day rule, I can apply for citizenship in December 2021, but lately I have been plagued by doubts whether it is worth doing or is it better to wait until 5 years have passed since my longest trip (174 days). Although, in theory, the trip was less than 180 days, wouldn't this be a reason for refusal? Or it's better to discuss with an attorney.
Thank you in advance.
