Another silly question!

So I'm getting ready to send in my N400, and I got the part down about all the times I've left the country since becoming a Permanent Resident, but I'm really badly wanting a trip to the UK this year...my best friends little girl is turning two, another friend is pregnant and another is getting married...and I just wanna go home for a week and surprise them all at some time (nothing booked - airline tickets are way ridiculously priced right now!). I'm reading and trying to get my head around all this stuff, but can I still make a spur of the moment and sporadic trip home, if I feel like it, once I actually send this dang paperwork in? (Still waiting on tax info to come back from IRS, but am totally ready other than that!!)

Thanks! and hope everyone is doing well!

If you travel after submitting your N-400...... it's ok. Just keep all your proof of travel in case you are asked for it at the interview.

As long as it doesn't break residency condition for N400 application, it will be fine.

Make sure that you have everything documented, and when USCIS interview officer ask for traveling record, you have to update him/her with additiona trip record.

But the real problem is that when USCIS send notification such as I-797C for fingerprint, and/or interview schedule, sometimes they send notifice with not much in advanced manner.

For fingerprint, when I recieved fingerprint notice, it was 10 days prior to actual fingerprint scheduled date.

But fingerprint can be done later with walk-in if you can not go for scheduled date.

So it seems to me that it will be o.k. except the period when you are waiting for interview or oath ceremony after fingerprint done.
