Applying for citizenship while stationed in Germany

Hello,

 

My husband and I have been married for 4 years in October and have been stationed in Germany since November 2018 (Army). I want to apply for citizenship now seeing as my 10 year greencard still hasn't been approved. On the form N-400, part 1, it asks you for information about your eligibility and I'm not sure what to put - would it be B, D or E? I know that I am eligible to be here in Germany for the oath ceremony and interview so I don't need to fly back to the states.

 

Secondly, all the questions about travel outside the US are based on the past 5 years, not 3. So for the first year/year and a half of our marriage I wasn't living in the US. Do I need to put this as over 365 days outside the states? Does my time here in Germany count as being outside the US? How strict are they with having the exact number of days outside the states? I've been on so many trips I can't really remember the exact dates.

 

If anyone has gone through this and has some answers I'd love to hear them.

 

Thanks!

Military bases are US territory. Technically you were living in US as long your husband was stationed there. Even if you lived off post, his based of employment was on the base as well as your residence - that means in US
