eikogs Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 My wife has been in the US for about 2 years of the needed 3 to begin the neutralization process. I am curious about the requirement or 18 months physical presence. Does that mean cumulative 18 months, or do they have to be consecutive? If we take a trip back to visit her family in China for a few weeks, does that start the clock over? Does she need to hit the 3 year mark before filling out the N-400? Link to comment
dnoblett Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Cumulative, basically living in the states longer than total time away. Being out of the country for 6 months consecutive will reset the clock, not a few weeks. Can file the N-400 at 90 days prior to the three year mark. Link to comment
