US CITIZENSHIP

[donlalaine 0]

i am an LPR since 3-30-2009 now we travelled last march then this month our trip is already booked.

now i am aware that i can file for US CITIZENSHIP before 3-30-2012 but because of the trips we had i decided not to file

my question is can i still file within this year probably between sept to nov? or do i have to wait for the 5 years window?

Yes. You can apply base on 3 years marriage to a USC. Good luck!

Looking at your timeline I saw that you came here as K1. Based on that I am assuming that you have a 2yr conditional card. When did you apply for ROC?You need to have the conditions removed in your GC before filing for citizenship. If you already did that's great!!

Please update your timeline so that everyone here that would like to share some info won't be confused.

I took 4 trips outside the US before filing my N400. The last trip was a week before i filed. It is OK as long as a single trip doesn't exceed 6months. And of course you must have been physically present in the United States for 18 months out of the 3 years.

Goodluck!

our trips just lasted 2 to 3 weeks each trip. i had only two trips so far the first trip is only 1 week then the second trip was only 2 weeks. this month will be another 3 weeks so i think

i am still good to file for US citizenship.

I've heard different responses for questions on trip section of N-400. I was planning to go the route of crossing out "5" and replacing with "3" years since I have been a conditional/permanent (LPR) resident for over 3 years (via marriage).

My question is, do I list trips, etc for last 3 years of the N-400 filing date or include any trips since becoming a LPR?
