5 years of trip info...when applying under 3 year rule

Hello! My first post in a looooong time.

 

I'm applying online for citizenship under the 3 year rule (lawful resident for last 3 years and married and living with US citizen spouse for last 3 years) - and I'm confused about the 'time outside the US' section.

 

It's asking me to provide information on 'trips' I've taken outside the US in the last 5 years - however, I've only lived in the US for just over 4 years. So, should I include the year prior to me moving here...even though that wasn't a trip, it was me living in my home country? Or should I just start the trip history from the date I moved here? 

 

Hoping someone who's already done this can advise!

 

Thanks ☺️

Yes, the N400 form is a bit confusion for those applying under the 3 yr. rule as it is tailored to the 5 yr. rule.  You only need to provide the trip for the time between receiving your GC and the filing of the N400 (same for details of where you lived, etc.).

 

Good Luck!

Perfect, thanks Dashinka! I actually started filling in a paper form before I realised I could do it online - and then I was hoping that maybe the online version would be smart enough to auto-update to only request information for the last 3 years...but no such luck!
