Hi and thanks in advance.

 

I have my interview next week so my question is if the officer ask me about my trips outside the US I should tell him about the last trip which is not in te formulary because was after I submitted the documents or I should tell him about the last trip that is in my N400 form?

 

Thanks!!!!

If you have traveled outside of the US after submitting your N-400, you can update your N-400 form accordingly, sign and print a copy to bring to the N-400 interview. If they ask about your last travel, give the most recent trip and have the updated form ready in case they want it :) 

For my I-129F, K-1, AOS, EAD, AP and ROC detailed timelines, please refer to my timeline page :)

ROC filed on December 1, 2020, assigned to SRC, approved within 106 days on February 18, 2021.

My sincerest gratitude to all VJers, especially the late geowrian.

I had my interview two days ago and the IO printed a copy of my international travel history, presumably from the DHS database, and checked them against the trips I listed on my N400, including the days I was away for each trip. I also made a trip outside the US after filing the N400 and I just declared that to the IO with passport stamps and flight itinerary to support it. The IO only wanted to know how long I was gone on the trip and since it was less than 6 months, it was not an issue. Make sure that when asked you should be able to tell the IO how many international trips in total that you have made since becoming a PR and declare any trips you made after filing your N400.

I am in the same situation. How many trips that you took during your time including the one after your n400 pending? Did the IO ask why travel many times?

Please thank u, good luck

My interview was quite easy the IO didnt ask anything outside the N-400 form. About my trips she ask for any trips of more of 6 months and for the last trip I made prior I submit the forms. But that was it regarding this topic.

 

Thanks to all! I passed the test.

Yes she ask where I was working, for how long and what I do there. Also ask for the last 2 jobs.
