Citizenship after spending extended period outside USA

[tabzsid 0]

Hello All.

I had a question about my situation and when I can apply for citizenship.

I got my green card through work on an L1 visa in August 2011.

I got married to an American citizen in September 2011

We left the USA after I got transferred overseas by my American employer in December 2011

We returned to USA when I got transferred back in March 2015

I have made several returns for short periods and not stayed outside USA for more than 6 months.

When can I apply for citizenship?

Thanks for your help!

In about 3 years.

Your time outside the U.S. breaks your continuous residency and you are unlikely to meet the physical pr senc requirements.
