You can definitely file under general provision if you held your GC before January 1, 2021

Yes, you're eligible to file under general provision. It's a much easier route. Less docs required, no need to reprove marriage.

 

Good luck!

The only caveat: you should have not had any trips lasting over 6 months in the last 5 years and you should have spent at least 30 months in the US in the last 5 years. You should also lived in the USCIS jurisdiction for 90 days prior to filing and have good moral character.

I need some help. I have been living in the U.S. since November 2018, I left on January 12th 2020 to visit my parents and did not come back until January 7th 2021 due to covid. Have left only for vacation from then to now. Can someone please tell me when I can apply for Citizenship. Can I apply January next year based on the 4 years 1 day rule?

Yes, that's exactly the rule you can use in this situation.

Can I file the application 3 months before or do I have to wait until January when the 4 years and 1 day have passed to submit the N-400

There’s an eligibility tool to see how soon can you apply.

Firstly, early filing is 90 days, not 3 months. 3 months can be less than or more than 90 days which makes it wrong to use.

Secondly, no, early filing does not apply to filing under 4 year and 1 day rule. You're already filing early instead of waiting 5 full years.

This calculator doesn't account for 4 years and 1 day rule AFAIK.
