Finally got around to submitting the N400 this week, after dragging my feet over it for the last two years.
Ive been a LPR since 01/24/2019, which puts me in the 90 day window of the 5 year rule. But I inadvertently submitted the application on 4th Jan 2024 under the 3 year rule married to a US citizen, and went through the trouble of getting all the documentation uploaded. Turns out I could have saved myself the trouble if I had just picked the right option.
But now that the application is submitted, is there a formal way to reclassify yourself for the 5 year rule while the application is still being processed? I'd rather the final part of this process be as hassle free (relative as that can be) as I can make it, and looks like that should make the interview and the review process more straightforward.
Anyone with similar experience on this have any anecdotal knowledge on if and how I can make that change, short of redoing the entire application, which seems counter-intuitive at best?
P.S: Im a lurker mostly, so if this breaks community posting rules, please let me know and I will repost under the right forum rules.
