What is the continuous residence requirement?
You are required to reside continuously in the U.S. for 5 years before you are eligible to apply for Naturalization (3 years for spouses of U.S. Citizens). If you've left the U.S. for more than 6 months at a time, you may have difficulty meeting this requirement. If you've left the U.S. for more than one year at a time, you cannot meet this requirement unless you take steps to preserve your continuous residence.
You may file Form N-400 ninety (90) calendar days before you complete your permanent residence requirement if your eligibility for Naturalization is based upon being a Permanent Resident for at least 5 years or 3 years if you are married to a U.S. Citizen.
