An officer may also review whether an applicant with multiple absences of less than 6 months each will be able to satisfy the continuous residence requirement. In some of these cases, an applicant may not be able to establish that his or her principal actual dwelling place is in the United States or establish residence within the United States for the statutorily required period of time.^[10]

 

An LPR’s lengthy or frequent absences from the U.S. can also result in a denial of naturalization due to abandonment of permanent residence.

so if someone keep making trips overseas but each time for less than 6 months, but only spend 1 months in the US in a year, that means that person still meet the continued residence requirement?

No, apart from continuous residence requirment, physical residence in US is also required. For 5 years rule application, u have to be living in US physically for at least 36 months out of the total 60 months immediately prior to the date of application. Please read the eligibility on USCIS website. The rules are clearly stated in simple English!

Also, uscis are not stupid. There is a little caveat in the manual:

 

“An officer may also review whether an applicant with multiple absences of less than 6 months each will be able to satisfy the continuous residence requirement. In some of these cases, an applicant may not be able to establish that his or her principal actual dwelling place is in the United States or establish residence within the United States for the statutorily required period of time.”
 

What do you think a month a year is going to look like?

i was only talking about 1 year like that within 5 years, especially in the early stage of the five years period, i dont see how they wouldnt satisfy the continous residence requirement.

Well, that wasn’t what you said. You need to say what you mean.

“Keep making trips” implies it is a regular ongoing occurrence, not something that happened for just for one year.
