Out of US since becoming PR

[tk94110 0]

In N-400 Part 3, first two questions are about the length of the stay out of U.S. in last 5 years.

Then the third question is asking to list all the trips since becoming the PR. Do they really mean that? Or can I assume the same qualifier "within 5 years"? I've been a PR for 21 years, and compiling such a list would consume lots of time and I don't know if I have all the data.

Just do it to the best of your knowledge.

I would have a good crack at the first 5 yrs, there after the 5 yrs, just try your best & when it comes to your interveiw the I.O will go through your application

point out to him/she at the time, that you done your best to puzzle your travel times...im sure the I.O would have came across this many times.

aslong he/she can see your being upfront and honest the Immigration officer will respect that.

Good Luck

They mainly will want to see the past 5 years, but they will also want to see if you have lived extensively outside the US for any length of time (working, living etc while on a LPR status outside the US in non-US related jobs). If you have always resided in the US then you shouldn't have much to worry about...

Your past and present passport should have records of all entrance into another country, all re-entry back into the US, since you have a foreign passport with a GC.

The last 5 years is all they need from you.

Were you "Out of US since becoming PR" as the title of the topic says? If so you may not able to apply for citizenship as you technically gave up your GC/residency by not living here.

If I misunderstood you I apologize.

Things worth achieving are things worth working for.

You'll really need to get an Excel list going and enter all of your trips in it. With your history of mass absences (in number), the I.O. will ask the computer for advice, if only to check if you even qualify for naturalization, and the computer will tell him or her every time your Green Card was scanned since data processing has been introduced to the INS.

Do it to the best of your ability.
