N-400 Online application - travel outside the US before moving to US

[vocal 41]

Hey,

 

I moved to the US on K-1 visa about 4 years ago.

In the Naturalization online application there is the section of "Travel outside the US" during last *5* years.

 

However, I was not living in the US 5 years ago... So do I have to enter trips to/from my home country which is not the US? For example I took a trip to Europe in 2017 which is within 5 years ago, but I didn't "leave" or "enter" the US at all, because I wasn't living there.

 

What is the correct approach here?

 

Thanks!

That part of the form is related to the continuous residence requirement. 

As you, I assume, are applying for naturalization under the 3 year rule, you should just include the trips since you moved to the US.

If applying under the 3 year rule, you don't have to list trips for 5 years.....just since arriving.

Thanks for the prompt answers everyone, super helpful!

I listed work/school history for the last 5 years (ie I included my foreign address and work), but the travel history I only put down the times I had traveled since moving to the US.
