How to fill out n-400 section part 8 & 9

Hi!

I am stuck with my n-400 application. I am a Swedish citizen and just received my permanent green card through marriage of an American citizen. I want to file my application for naturalization ASAP and have a couple of questions.

 

In part 1: information about your eligibility I ticked in option B; that I have been a lawful permanent resident of the US for at least 3 years through marriage (got married in 2012 and received GC nov 2013). 

The confusion is how I should fill out part 8 and part 9 of n-400 where they want you to list your employment/schools attended for the past five years and the time you spent outside of the U.S. for the past five years. Five years ago I was still living in Sweden so does it really make any sense to include that, or should I just list for the past 3 years since I became a permanent resident?

 

I really appreciate your help!

Thank you!

When applying under the three year rule you read those sections as if they say three years instead of five.
