How much overseas travel is too much?

[kiwirst 39]

Submitted my application today and I was curious if the amount of days outside of the country in the past 3 or 5 years has an impact on your application.

 

I ended with almost 90 days out of the country in the last 5 years, mainly due to my previous job requiring it.

 

Has anyone seen or had issues with too much time out of the country?

That's nothing and you should not worry about it.

 

You need to be living in the US for 30 months out of 60 in the last 5 years, which you did.

 

You cannot spend over 180 days overseas on any given trip without breaking continuous residency, which you didn't.

LOL sure.  We spent 8/15 years out of the country and had to wait (3) years after we returned for good to file.  That was an issue 

Your 90 days is not an issue.  See OldUser’s post.

My country list includes Vietnam, China, Malaysia, Japan & Korea. Vietnam & Malaysia were the destinations & the rest were stopovers.

 

With some of the questions on the applocation, I'm probably over thinking where work took me.

Unless you went through customs and immigration in China, Japan and Korea you should not list them as visited countries. 

 

If you exited airport, then yes, list them.
