Should I include near-future trip in part 7C (time outside of the US after becoming permanent resident)?

Hi everyone,

I am about to send out my N400 package in the next week, and have a small question regarding Part 7C in the form, where it asks for all the trips of more than 24 hrs outside of the US:

I am going to Scotland for 2 weeks at the end of September, which is going to be over a month after I plan to file for N400 but not long enough for it to be approved. Should I include this prospective trip in Part 7C of the form, or only the trips that had been actually taken up until the time of filing?

It would be easier to wait until after Scotland to file N400, but since my husband and I have a few European trips mapped out for next year, I would like to try to get a US passport as soon as possible so that I won't have to apply for travel visas again (which can take a considerable amount of time and money)

Thanks!

Don't include it on the N-400. You will need to tell them about any overseas trips taken between filing and interview at the interview.
