Can't remember exactly where I worked and lived..

[Flavia 1]

I'm working on filling out my N400 right now, and don't remember the exact dates where I lived or worked for the previous five years. Is it ok if I put approximate dates? What if the employment dates don't match exactly the ones I indicated when applying for removal of conditional residence last year?

What can I say, from day one, every application, every letter from the USCIS, all evidence submitted was scanned and installed on my computer. On a LAN with four other computers, so all that data is stored on several hard drives and a couple of CD's were burnt, plus original duplicate copies of everything submitted to the USCIS was made in case they lost your application.

So typical of dealing with any governmental agency, the burden of proof is on your shoulders, and they don't make mistakes, only you do.

The N-400 with ten pages was the longest and most redundant form I have ever encountered, found just about everything I needed from the I-130, I-485, G-325A, and I-751 with only some very minor updating. Same was true of the required evidence, same old stuff all over again. Can only guess the USCIS does not keep records, but they do, wife saw a 3 1/2 inch stack of what we already sent in at her interview.

Hello,

When you say "exactly"- are you refering to the classial mm/dd/yyyy dates?

Maybe you still have copies of your W2s or paystubs or anything like that to at least indicate the month and year of employment and living situation...

Oh, and out of personal experience: when I filled in my N-400 I only gave approximate dates (like "March 05- July 07") assuming that this information should be close enough.

Never had any issues

Good luck!

Not even sure why they want your employment history, it's not like they are going to give you a job and want your work experience. In regards to fees, certainly no credit offered to make sure you can pay them. Had to pay those far in advance. Besides, they want to look over your income taxes to see how much you are paying to live here.

LOL- that's why I did not submit my tax transcripts. They did not want to see them either... probably figured how little my employer pays...
