Here are my 2 cents:

How many days she live with me???

I don't think there is any specific number of days to live with you. Read the citizenship eligibility requirements I have copied and pasted from USCIS site that will give you information on how long she needs to stay in or outside of USA to qualify for citizenship. This will also inform you what is the maximum number of days in a given time she can stay outside of USA

When the green card holder expired for visit to another country???

Usually a green card expires in 2 (married tonUSC - CR1) or 10 years. I believe if she continuously stays out of the country more than one year she will break the rule of thumb for permanent residency and has to go through the process or file for it again.

Citizenship Eligibility Rewuirements:

==================================

- Be 18 or older at the time of filing

- Be a green card holder for at least 5 years immediately preceding the date of filing the Form N-400, Application for Naturalization

- Have lived within the state, or USCIS district with jurisdiction over the applicants place of residence, for at least 3 months prior to the date of filing the application. Students may apply for naturalization either where they go to school or where their family lives (if they are still financially dependent on their parents).

- Have continuous residence in the United States as a green card holder for at least 5 years immediately preceding the date of filing the application

- Be physically present in the United States for at least 30 months out of the 5 years immediately preceding the date of filing the application

- Reside continuously within the United States from the date of application for naturalization up to the time of naturalization

- Be able to read, write, and speak English and have knowledge and an understanding of U.S. history and government (civics).

- Be a person of good moral character, attached to the principles of the Constitution of the United States, and well disposed to the good order and happiness of the United States during all relevant periods under the law

Thank you so much for your help.

Thanks a lot.

hi

not too soon, she has to live in the US more than travelling, she must live in the US most of the year,

she just came back in March, she should wait a few more months to travel again

[JFH 12,189]

She has already spent 3 months with you this year so another three months would be risky. That would mean she is borderline as to where she has spent most of this year.

Does she work? How is she able to take so much time off? If she spends more than 6 months of the year with you she is theoretically not living in the USA (she's living with you and visiting the USA to maintain a sense of presence) and that's not what the GC is for.

[aaron2020 11,651]

She can apply for a Re-Entry Permit which will allow her to stay with you for up to 2 years. She must apply for the REP from inside the US; the REP can not be applied for when abroad. She must maintain ties to the US.

hi

if a person is planning to file citizenship and moves to a new state, the person has to wait for 3 months and have residency there in order to file the citizenship application.
