  • N-400 early filling. 2 months before continuous residency

    Dear friends.
    I would appreciate your help with my question regarding N-400.

    I'm permanent resident since (received my green card in) June 2014 (more that 5 years ago).
    I moved to US and started continuously living sine October 2014- 4 years and 10 months. I didn't leave US since I've started living here.

    Am I eligible to submit my N-400 application now (August 2019), 2 months before I have 5 years of continuously leaving in US?

    PS
    I'm confused because of the N-400 rule
    Demonstrate continuous residence in the United States for at least 5 years IMMEDIATELY preceding the date of filing Form N-400

    I have seen a case earlier today where someone was rejected for filing one day too soon!
    Your safest option is to wait 2 months and just avoid any confusion.... or maybe even 3 months!

      Maybe my answer was too pessimistic.
      The point is... when you calculate the earliest date that you can apply..... delay by a few days just to be certain.

      There is a calculator on the USCIS website.
      https://www.uscis.gov/us-visa-and-immigration-forms/uscis-ea...ing-calculator

      I can't get it to work because it always gets the year wrong.
      However, the instructions seem clear even if the calculator is broken.
      BTW: I hope USCIS handle leap years correctly if your dates are either side of Feb 29th.

      To be safe....Instead of backing off 90 days... add a few days just to be safe.

      I trust this date calculator more:
      https://www.calculatorsoup.com/calcu...e/date-day.php


      I think the USCIS rules work like this:
      If you started permanent residence on 10/31/2014
      Your 5 year period would bring you up to 10/31/2019
      If you back off 90 days you get 8/2/2019
      Then to be safe.. add a few days to (say) 8/5/2019
