How long do I need to be a permanent resident before I can apply for U.S. citizenship, and does time spent abroad affect this timeline?

To qualify for citizenship, generally applicants must demonstrate they have continuously resided in the United States for at least 5 years before submitting Form N-400, Application for Naturalization. This means you must be residing exclusively in the United States – not in any other country

The general rule is that you must have five years of continuous (unbroken) residence in the United States right before applying for naturalized U.S. citizenship
