International Trips on N-400 Form

[tingxu1 0]

Hi, I am a US citizen. My wife immigrated to US three years ago from China. Now she would like to apply US citizen also. On Part 7 of N-400 form, Time Outside of the Unite States, the "How many total days did you spend outside of the United States during the past five years" and "How many trips..." are required to be filled. Should my wife fill for two year days when she lived in China before she immigrating to US and becoming US permanent redident three years ago? Or she just needs to fill for any international trips during past three years after she becoming US permanent resident three years ago? Thank you very much!

no it's since she became a LPR. forget about the 5 years since she is filing based on the 3 year rule, it would be the trips during the 3 years.
