Question details
My parents are getting ready to file their N400 naturalization application online soon. Here is their situation :
They got their Green Card ( I sponsored them) in April 2013. They have made four trips to India , two of which were less than 32 days. However one trip in 2013-2014 was for 204 days but this trip is outside of the 5year look-back period now. They took another trip in in August 2014 ,returning in March 2015 for a total of 193 days outside. They had to stay back longer due an unexpected health issue when my mom had to undergo surgery. They have paid filed their tax returns as a resident for every year since getting their GC even-though they do not owe any taxes - they do have some passive income in India. They do live with me and while they have bank account there are not many transactions in it. Also they have medical coverage through ACA where they get premium assistance. Would 5 years of tax returns along with medical documents that show my Mom's diagnosis and surgery followed by physiotherapy be sufficient to overcome the presumption of abandonment of residence in US because they stayed about 13 days more than 180 during their trip in 2014-2015 ?

We had reached out to Rajiv S Khanna's law offices on a recommendation from a friend to help us with filing a green card for our parents. From the initial conversation till after the GC approval, their offices have been extremely informative, responsive and professional. They went out of their way in making us comfortable, patiently responded to all our queries and guided us through the entire process. We are happy to say that the GC card was approved in the first go with no issues and thanks largely to the excellent up front preparation of the case/documentation. We would gladly recommend their services to anyone looking for immigration help. Heather Riddick, who helped us through the entire process was excellent to work with. Thanks again to Rajiv S Khanna and team for successfully guiding us through this process.
