Parts 6 and 7 ?

[VSS 0]

Hi,

I am getting ready to send my N-400 Application based on a marriage to a US citizen. But I am really confused about parts 6 and 7. I have been reading the forum but i couldn't find a clear answer .

Did you cross the 5 and wrote 3 years instead for part 6 and 7 ?

Thank you !

All I know is that you never change the form in any agency, my wife was out of this country for 409 days at the date we put on the application so that is what I put down and that is what they precisely asked for. Her employment and address dates all corresponded with her total days out of the country that included the number of days she was out of this country after she was a permanent resident.

Those precise dates took some research on our part so we kept those precise dates in our citizenship folder, just in case we need proof. Ha, trying to remember what happened five years ago can be a challenge, I can't even remember todays date, they keep on changing it.

In general, it's not a good idea to go about re-wording the questions yourself. But in this particular case, it's definitely OK to cross out the five and write three, and answer accordingly, The USCIS has suggested to attorneys that they should do precisely that. For many years, many people on many different immigration boards have reported success doing that.

Of course it is also perfectly OK to take the question literally and answer them based on a five year time period, just like the form asks. You'll be providing the dates anyway. The adjudicator will go over things with you during the interview. The legal requirements concern the three year time period, so they'll do the calculations to figure out the right answers based on the three year period anyway.

i actually counted the number of days before coming to the u.s. and wrote an explanation that since i came here in 04 i never left the u.s. i guess that worked cause the officer didn't ask me anything about it. i think i put down 610 days.
