Hello everyone

I have been a Legal Permanent Resident (LPR) since 2016. Due to my educational commitments abroad, I applied for two reentry permits (I-131) to cover my absence (from 2017-2019 to 2019 to 2021).
Despite being abroad, I returned to the USA every year during my summer break, from August to the end of September.

I have a question regarding my eligibility for naturalization:

I returned to US in May 28, 2020. Since my return, I have been living in the USA without any trips abroad I have filed my taxes timely and I have evidence to back my continuous residency.

However, I don't have any evidence to back my continuous residency from 2016 to 2017 and 2017-2019 even though I applied for Reentry permit, 

so i am questioning whether this would consider as abandonment of my green card? Whether they take away my green card when I apply citizenship

Thank you so much.

You had reentry permits.

You also resided continuously since 2020.

If you apply in May or in June, you won't even need to list prior trips before May 2020.

 

You'll be absolutely fine.

If you doubt it, you can consult a lawyer.
