[Chava61]

You will have to show that you were physically in the USA at least half amount of days of the 5 years before applying for citizenship.

Also …. if you do leave the country in the five year period, keep a log of where you went, the date you left and the date you returned. You will need this information for your application.

During the preceding five years you cannot have taken a trip out of the US which lasted one year or more.

I see nothing which mentions six months.

That's the problem, they contradict themselves.

Here you go, Naturalization Eligibility - M-476, Chapter 4: http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/f...e/chapter4.pdf - first requirement on the list, third column, "Continuous Residence".

See, again -- what you just said is different to what other person in this thread just mentioned. That's why I'm confused. And the website itself isn't doing such a good job in explaining this situation either. Thanks for replying though!

You have to come up with 30 months residence within the US for the duration of five continuous years plus selective service, tax returns, ... Just follow the eligibility work sheet.

Not really. They say "six months or longer".

In any event, anything can happen in the next five years and the immigration laws are tweaked and change regularly so it's nothing immediate you have to concern yourself with if, as you say, you have no plans to go back and forth to your home country as you've been doing and which may have already put you on the radar.
