N400 Eligibility Information Question

[mc962 55]

My wife is filling it out the N-400.

 

She is applying under the "3 Year Rule" based on her marriage to me (U.S. citizen), and is applying within the the 90 days before 3 years since she became a Permanent Resident (beginning of August will be the actual 3 year point).

 

For Part 1, Question 1, should she select B. Have been a lawful Permanent Resident of the United States for the last three years, or should she write into Other and explain that she is within the allowed 90 day window of the 3 years since she became a Permanent Resident (90-Day Early Filing Provision (INA 334) I think is what it's technically called)?

 

My assumption is that B  is still acceptable and that they won't have trouble with that, but I could see a small argument that Other might technically be more correct. I imagine the Immigration Officer would sort it out anyway and it wouldn't be an issue, but I'm curious if others felt differently.
