N-400 Form Question

[ecuaciones0809 0]

Hi,

I'm working on the N-400 form already and I need clarification on the Part 6 - B question regarding the employement or school. I have only had one job for the last 3 years here. Do i need to add the other jobs from my country or just from here.

Thank you,

Hi Ecuaiones0809,

In answer to your question: If it makes you feel any better, when I filled out my N-400 form, I filled out the employment/school part for the last 5 years, just like it says so on the form...."better safe than sorry", I think. Heck, I've had 0 paid jobs (but only a few volunteer jobs and am a homemaker/stay-at-home mom) since I've been here in the USA, and I was a student in my former country (Canada)...but still wrote all that down anyways....

After all, if you list all of your jobs/education for the last 5 years, they can't say that you didn't include such, and/or say that you lied about such...Better to tell the truth and include everything, than omit stuff...

Besides, it makes for good conversation if the Immigration Officer ever asks..."So what did you do in your former country, and here in the USA?"...lol..

Overall, it doesn't make a difference as to what job or how many jobs you have now or had before, as it doesn't affect it in terms of a person's qualifications for applying for citizenship (that would be discriminatory anways..as citizenship should be available for all, regardless of one's employment and/or education). In my opinion, they just want to see what you've been doing since you've been in the USA that's all (and to see if you've been paying taxes if you need to)....no harm in mentioning all your jobs/education...nothing to be ashamed of...

Now for the travel part (dates out of the country), that matters....Too many days out of the country can make one ineligible..lol...that's another story...

Hope this helps. Good luck on your journey too.
