N-400 for former K1 visa holder

[cleverodra 1]

Good afternoon,

I wonder what are the residency requirements for a PR spouse who entered the country on a K1 visa.

This is of course after the removal of ROC.

The reason why I am asking is because she will be traveling extensively during the 3rd year of her PR which will be right before she submits her N-400.

Thanks in advance for the help.

You can read about the physical presence requirements on the N400 instructions.

If filing based on the 3 year rule for being married to a USC, you cannot have been outside the US for 18 months or more.
