After filing the naturalization application up to the date of being sworn in as a US citizen, can I travel outside of the U.S.?
For how long can you stay out of the US? How frequently can you leave the U.S. and return back? Can you work outside US? What are the limitations on staying out of the U.S. during that period?

Yes, you can travel internationally while your naturalization application is pending and you are waiting for the interview but it is best not to stay outside the US for more than a couple of months. You can travel multiple times, as this is not an issue.
