Filing online eligibility

[dgallegos 16]

Okay, so does the 90 day prior to 5 year rule apply to online application?

 

We didn't get around to filing n400 at the 3 yr mark and are now a week away from being able to apply under the 5 year rule. I selected 5 yr rule option while filling out questions but then when I put the date of LPR it said he was ineligible but it will let me under 3 year rule. Is the 90 days only applicable filing via mail? I mean we can wait to submit app another week but wanted to get everything filed online today.

90 days is applicable whether mail or online. 

 

You chose the 5 year category. Your 5 year category is a week away, meaning that its window has not yet opened. So why would you knowingly camp outside a house when you clearly know that the code to open the door is a week away from being active ???

 

However, 3 year mark has long been open. So you have 2 options:

 

1. Be patient and wait for atleast1.5 weeks, then file under 5 year category or

2. If you really wanna file right now, then go with the 3 year category as it's open.

We are going to wait. I’m just wondering why there are many forums saying we can apply 90 days preceding the date of eligibility if it will not let applicants online.
