N400 Online -3 Year Rule Question

[yerofeyev.adam 1]

Hello all, my wife is applying for citizenship (N400 online). I am a citizen and she is applying with the 3 year rule. When she enters the 3 year info for residence, work, and time outside of the country, it gives an error saying missing info (says it needs 2 more years). 

Should she ignore these error messages and continue with only 3 years of info? She has only lived in the US for about 4 years. 
 

Thank you

To clarify - your wife has a green card already? The three years is from the date the GC was awarded. My GC was awarded in November 2013, which meant I could apply for Citizenship in November 2016.

Yes, she has had her LPR since fall of 2016. 
So we weren’t sure for the online form to include all five years of info for: work, place of residency, trips. 
 

What we have done now is: 1. Place of residence all 5 years 2. Employment all 5 years 3. Trips outside of country longer than 24 hours only 3 years listed (not 5)

 

Would this be correct or is a different way better?

I added my home address and employment back from my home country to complete the 5 years requirements and no issue at all, the IO will focus more on your wife's 3 year residency here in the US once she got the invitation for interview. The system won't allow you to continue if you did not provide the 5 years history of your wife's home and work address.

 

Hope this helps.
