How This Works
USCIS requires 30 months (913 days) of physical presence in the US during the 5-year statutory period before filing. Every day outside the US counts against this total.
Important: The departure day counts as a day outside the US. The return day counts as a day in the US. This calculator gives you an estimate — for exact dates, you need accurate trip records.
