I became a U.S citizenship. I'll go to work overseas for 5 years without return to U.S. then I'll return. can I enter U.S directly after 5 years?

The immigration laws require that an applicant for citizenship have the intention to make the US the country of domicile at the time that an application for citizenship is being processed. After the individual obtains citizenship, he or she is free to spend as much time or not to spend any time in the country and still keep US citizenship.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
