Submit N-400 Online while Abroad

[bliu 0]

I don't see anywhere that submitting N-400 online while abroad makes you ineligible but does it have any adverse impact to your naturalization application?

The N-400 won't let me put a future arrival date back to US in the section of travel history so I can only put a current date to it.

 

Also, I had a trip from 6/22/2016-6/6/2017 which broke the Continuous Residence. I could establish a new 5-year statutory period after 12/6/2016.

In the travel history should I put the departure date of this trip as the actual flight departure date 6/22/2016 or the first day of the 5-year period 12/6/2016?

 

I was employed by a foreign company in that foreign country in that trip from 7/25/2016-6/2017 and I filed taxes for this employment.

In the employment history should I put the start date as the actual employment start date 7/25/2016 or the first day of the 5-year period 12/6/2016?

And should I put the foreign address that I stayed in this trip in the address history?

 

Does this trip looks bad to my N-400 or should I wait until 6/6/2022 so that I don't need to disclose this trip?

 

Thanks a lot.

You must have continuous 3 month residency in the county of the state 

 

In general, an applicant for naturalization must file his or her application for naturalization with the state or service district that has jurisdiction over his or her place of residence. The applicant must have resided in that location for at least three months prior to filing.

I've resided longer than 3 months in my place of residence of the state. If it means three months immediately prior to filing I can't file out of US.

Yes I assume they'd have access to everything.
