2 people ( one is now LPR, the other is a US citizen ) with previous overstay in the US.... will this overstay affect a application for a VISA / travel authorization to Australia?

crazy, I have a cousin that has a green card for more than 25 years, and he hasn't been living in the US since 2004. he would fly to American once or twice every year and never had any problem. he doesn't even know what is a reentry permit maybe he is just lucky or maybe is because his mother lives in the US

Ah, are you saying that they gonna check again if my marriage was real, and stuff like that? I dont think that would be a problem coz they approved my ROC with all the millions of evidence I sent

Im a little bit confused now

Thank you i read all that pdf, but my friend told me they still would track previous trips ( the ones from 2017-2020 ) Thats why im asking here to see if anyone know if that is really true

Oh yes thank you! That was 2020!!! yes, marriage ( US citizen ) but we are no longer together

I have been a Green Card holder for almost 7 years, but the problem is that during the first 3 years of Green Card ( 2017-2020 ), I spent 90% of my time outside of the U.S. finishing my degree in my home country. I would generally return every 11 months, and it went on like that for 3 years I never stayed outside the U.S. for more than one year, but I would usually come back every 10 or 11 months. Four years ago ( 2000 ), I returned to the U.S. for good, and I was thinking of applying for citizenship next year (following the 5-year rule). However, I have a friend who is a paralegal, and he told me that my citizenship will likely be denied because of my absences during the first few years( 2017-2020 ) What do you guys think? Have I lost my chance to naturalize? And if I can’t naturalize next year, what do you suggest I do - to naturalize in the future, or thats never going to happen? Thank you
