Hello,

 

I know you cannot travel for more than 180 days. Does anyone know if that is in a calendar year ? or From the time you received your green card? My husband has a pending N400 and since receiving his green card he has been on some trips and vacations and has been outside the country 85 days so far in total over the past 3 years. Is he allowed to keep traveling while the N400 is pending ?

Shouldn't be an issue, but how long is the trip? When is the interview? How long has he been a Green Card holder? Is this under 3 or 5 years ?

Yes he's allowed to travel more. He will be asked about international travel at N-400 interview and before the oath so he'll have opportunity to give updates.

 

There's two things to remember:

 

- Trips over 180 days (in a single trip) break continuous residency for naturalization purposes

- Combined he should spend more than half of the time in the US in the last 3 or 5 years (depending on which rule he naturalizes). The more time in the US the better.
