✈️ Did You Know?

Many Green Card holders are surprised to learn that spending too much time outside the United States can affect their eligibility for U.S. citizenship.

Generally, trips under 6 months are less likely to create issues. However, longer absences may raise questions about whether you maintained continuous residence in the U.S.—a key requirement for naturalization.

Before planning extended international travel, it's important to understand how the rules may apply to your situation.

🎥 Watch Attorney Edwin Fogam's latest video to learn:
✅ Continuous residence requirements
✅ Physical presence requirements
✅ How long absences can affect your citizenship application
✅ Common mistakes to avoid
