N-400 Part 6 and 7

[Caroline and Phil 14]

I'm almost done filling out my N-400 form and I have some questions and I would appreciate if some of you folks could help me.

I know my questions are kind of stupid but here they are:

1 - Part 6. Information about your residence.

On the instructions I read that we can use date format like 02/2011 for Feb 2011 for example. They specify we can for part 6 letter A. Can I use this same date format for the letter B (question about work)?

2 - Is there any problem with not having a paid job, being just a housewife (or homemaker)?

3- Part 7. Time outside the United States.

I'm applying based on 3 years marriage/PR. Never left US since I arrived here in Dec 16th 2006 with fiancee visa. The question is very clear, they ask "how many days did you spend outside the United States during the past five years? " (The question is so clear I can't even answer it. lol).

I read a lot of answers for this same question here but didn't come to any conclusion because some people say we should answer based on 3 years (like my friend did) and others say we cannot change their question.

So, how should I answer this question? I was testing answering it as it is (5 years) and made an image I'm attaching here. I was thinkink If I could answer as the image shows and maybe attach a paper sheet explaining that I'm applying on 3 years rule?

Thanks in advance.

Part 2, B tells them that you are applying based on marriage to a USC, so no other sheet is needed to explain.

FWIW we answered for the past 5 years and used the date format mm/dd/yyyy (because that is what popped up when completing the form) and typed in "PRESENT" where appropriate. Just made sure that the dates coincided with the same dates from the first g-325 form in support of the K1 petition through AOS, ROC, etc.

Thanks Anh map!

I only used month/year on my AOS/ROC application too. If you type it on the form it works.

So, should I just answer like the image I attached?
