N-600K "Physical presence in the United States from Birth" question

[MAHALisMAHAL 5]

I am a US citizen by birth.  I am filling out the N-600K form for my adopted son from the Philippines.  They are asking for dates of my physical presence in the US.  I was born there and lived there for 52 years but I did travel on vacations many times outside of the states.  Do they care about the days I wasn't in the states due to vacations?  I don't remember all the dates I was out of the country and it would be easier to just say I was there from birth until I move to the Philippines a few years ago.  But I do not want to lie either.

No, they won't care about vacations outside the US, as long as you have evidence that clearly shows you meet the physical presence requirement for the N600K -- "physically present in the United States for a period or periods totaling at least five years, at least two of which were after 14 years of age."  https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/n-600kinstr.pdf

Use old passports, work records (tax returns and W2’s), and/or school records.
