You’ll need to meet the physical presence and continuous residence requirements in order to be eligible for naturalization. To be certain you should consult directly with a reputable immigration attorney who can analyze the impact of your time abroad.

If you’re already a US citizen and not in the US, you can’t ask for asylum. Go to the closest US embassy and ask for urgent assistance for American citizens. Have them help you report to the police and other authorities. Above all, make sure your personal safety comes first before you do anything.

Can we live together even she is already married
answered on Mar 10, 2023
Marrying someone already married would be bigamy and the marriage would be deemed invalid at inception. Now nobody can forbid the two of you to live together in this country if that’s what you both want to do. It may be simplest for her to file a divorce. Somehow her opinion on these marriages is...

There is no way your question can be meaningfully answered on this forum since we do not know what status if any you had, if you overstayed, what visa you intend to apply for etc. Therefore schedule a consultation for a reputable immigration attorney to go over your case in the detail it deserves.
