Legal Question in Immigration Law in Florida

I have been a US resident for 5 years and 9 months. However, I have made 3 consecutive trips (each of them lasting about 5 months, less than 6) outside of the country. I would like to know if I am still eligible to apply for citizenship now that I am back in the United States? Or if these trips might affect my application?

Thank you!

Based on the information you have provided, you are eligible to apply for naturalization. You are required to have resided in the United States 2 1/2 out of the past 5 years, prior to the filing of the application. You also must remain in the U.S. once you file the application.

You should review all of the requirements for naturalization at: www.uscis.gov & search "citizenship through naturalization".
