    You can't 'accumulate' anything, once you become naturalized and have received your Certificate of Naturalization, or become an American Citizen, then you can apply for a US passport.

    You should have no problem travelling outside US if you have your homeland passport with your visa inside it to re-enter.

    You must be in US 50% of the time since you become permanent resident.
