I suggest that, during the 9 – 12 months that you will be working overseas, you return to the US at least once if not more times. There is indeed a six month rule under which trips of less than six months are generally not considered absences from the US, but that trips of six months and over are considered interruptions that could subject you to questions concerning abandonment of permanent resident status upon entry. There is the possibility that a naturalization examiner may be concerned with a trip outside the US of 9 – 12 months, and so you may wish to reduce the chances of having a problem at interview by making each trip as short as possible even if it inconveniences you during the time that you are away.
