Part 7 N400 Application

"Date you left the United States"

"Date you returned to the United States"

1. Does the date one departs the U.S. count as a day in the U.S.

2. Does the date one arrives in the U.S. count as a day in the U.S.

3. If one arrives in the U.S. and departs the U.S. in the same day, does this count as a day in the U.S?

Thanks

Hi,

you should read the naturalization guide as it explains this clearly -> http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/M-476.pdf

Usually, partial days (less than 24 hrs) aren't considered days outside of the US. So your 3rd question - for example, you drive to Canada, do your thing, and come back by the end of the day, you do not need to inform them about it.

Here is my suggestion though, if you did travel and get entry/exit stamps, use the dates stamped in your passport as the IO likes to verify based on those stamps during your interview.
