The basic rules are:
- A single trip longer than six months can cause extra scrutiny.
- A trip longer than one year will cause serious problems.
- During the period of 5 YEARS before you apply, you must have been physically in the United States more than 50% of the time (913 days)

Generally speaking, multiple trips abroad SHORTER Than six months in a calendar year WILL NOT affect your ability to apply for citizenship. It does not matter if the combined total in a calendar year is more than six months.
