N400 - trips out of US

[LaXeNYC 2]

Morning everybody.

I'm filing for my citizenship by myself instead of asking my lawyer to do so to save me some $$. But I got stuck with few questions that I would love to have some clarifications from you guys.

- I'm a flight attendant which basically mean I'm almost all the time outside the States for work, technically I don't have a way to know the number of days I spent outside the country in the last 5 years. What should I do in your opinion? Is there anybody that had the same issue or knows someone with the same situation?

- Part 9: how many sons and daughters have you had? : should I put the step childs in that category or not? technically I didn't have them.

- Part 10 : Continuous residence : have u ever called urself Non Resident on a federal, state or local tax return? : Well I did that, everyone that lives and works in 2 neighbors states have had done that before. if you live in NJ and you work in NY, you have to declare urself nonresident of NY as far as my understanding. the main question here, will that be a bad point in the "continuous residence" ?

I called USCIS but they said they can't provide general informations about the form !!

I'm trying to do this by myself to avoid paying some money to my lawyer, but it seems a bad idea

Thank you guys and good luck for those who's cases are pending.

The question about residency is referring to US residency, have you ever declared yourself an non-USA resident on a federal state or local tax return.

If you adopted the step children you must declare them.
