Will my N-400 application be approved considering trips overseas?

[2016ireland 0]

Hi,

I'm from Ireland & I've been a US permanent resident since 2011. I recently sent in my N-400 application & I'm expecting an interview within the next two months.

I work as a website / app design consultant & work with clients in different countries, so I've taken frequent trips since becoming a PR. Since 2011, I've taken 21 trips overseas. My trips have varied in length from 2 weeks with the longest one being 4.8 months. I've always made sure any single trip never exceeded 6 months & my total time outside the US over the last 5 years has been 875 days.

During this time, I've lived at 9 different addresses within the US. I have lease documents & landlord references for 6 of these 9 addresses, but I'm now finding it difficult to find the same for the other 3 addresses (although I do have bank and credit card statements to show for these periods).

My concern relates to continuous residence. I've heard of other applications with a similar travel pattern being rejected due to not being able to provide proof of continuous residence when away on international trips.

Should I be concerned here? And if so, what can I do to give myself the best chance of approval at my interview?

I'm really worried at the moment, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Just curious! Unless you want to vote in US elections, work for the US gov or live in Ireland for extended periods of time, why do you want to become a US citizen?

Other than what Ive stated, the reasons are nonexistent.

Hi, I'd like to become a US citizen because I love this country and it feels like home now, so I'd like to make it official. I understand the tax implications, etc., but I feel being a part of the US - officially - for me outweighs the disadvantages. I know people have different reasons, but they are mine.

Can you clarify what you mean by "the reasons are nonexistent" please? I didn't quite understand that.

Thanks.

As long as you have been outside the US for less than 30 months in the last 5 years (and no trips are longer than 6 months), you'll be fine.
