Did I mess up by applying too early?

[Lastp2025 0]

Hi, I received my green card on February 1st, 2022 and applied for N400 on Nov 3rd, 2024 (based on the 3-year US Spouse Marriage rule - 90 days). However, during the 3-year period, I traveled outside of U.S. once by myself to visit my parents for 3 weeks without my husband (he couldn't go due to work reason). My question is, when calculating the earliest N400 filing date, should I add the 3 weeks of my travel time without my husband (apply on Nov 24th instead?) since during this 3 weeks period, we technically did not live together. I might be overthinking, but just want to make sure.

I wouldn't worry about those 3 weeks too much. In some very rare cases officer can try making that point, but it's very very improbable.

 

More importantly:

- You will likely get denied if on 03 NOV 2024 you weren't married for 3 or more years

- Some users were denied by applying on the very first day of their 90 day early window. This may or may not be a problem. If we could go back in time, I would have advised you to apply on Monday, November 4th or later instead.

 

Overall, I give about 95% you'll be fine.
