What counts as a day? I imagine that a half day in two countries would be counted as one day towards both since neither is probably splitting hairs over whether it was 12 hours and one minute. I would imagine that because of this it is possible to "double spend" a day for every time you fly between the same two counties.
Obviously this assumes that given a range of dates, the number of days is calculated as inclusive of the date of ingress and egress.
- refurb 12y agoAt first I thought you were just being obtuse, but you are correct! USCIS will count the day that an applicant departs from the United States and the day he or she returns as days of physical presence within the United States for naturalization purposes.[1] As long as the other country counts it the same way, you could spend 6 months in two countries and end up fulfilling the physical presence requirements in both.
