Thank you so much! Yes, when i'm entering my info at https://www.sss.gov/verify/ it's showing my Selective Service Number and the date of registration.

Thank you so much Mike! You've helped a lot. If you don't mind I have one more quick question for you. One of the requirements for n-400 is to be enrolled in selective service 30 days after an immigrant comes to the U.S. I was enrolled in it before I turned 26, however, I was enrolled one year after I came here (it wasn't of my doing, it was automatic). Would that decrease my chances or ruin my case because it wasn't during those 30 days, it was one year after?

Regarding the living situation. We were both in the U.S. - March 2021 - May 2021. Then I flew back home by myself, she stayed to work. Then, we were living together in Ukraine from June-October 2021 and from December 2021 - February 2022 (we have plenty of pictures together, we went on vacation together. The only reason we were apart October-December was because she went to the U.S. for those months for work).

Yes, I did apply for I-751, earlier this year. Regarding the living situation: we were living together in Ukraine from June-October 2021 and from December 2021 - February 2022 (we have plenty of pictures together, we went on vacation together. The only reason we were apart October-December was because she went to the U.S. for those months for work).

Just to clarify, you're not advising to try the 2 years and 1 day rule, correct? So, if I do apply on August 27, 2024, then everything should be fine and I shouldn't have an issue at all with the fact that I was absent from the U.S. for 10 months (given that everything else is okay)? Yes, I did. Back in February of this year.

Is there any source where i can find this rule? Because when i google this, i can see only 4 years and 1 day rule (or 2 years and 1 day)

I have a 2 year GC, and i received a 72-month extension for it. People say that right now waiting for the 10 year GC takes much longer, so I figured I could apply for N-400 before I even receive my 10 year GC.

Got it, thanks. We were young when filing taxes. Only my wife was here and filing them, she made a mistake, however she filed an amendment, so that is being processed right now. Regarding 2555, I wasn't working in my home country either. I was a student and haven't worked anywhere yet, so I don't have any tax documentation for 2021.

I didn't file tax returns for that first year that I was here because I was simply visiting, not making any money. My wife filed taxes for herself but she made a mistake and filed as single, instead of MFS, the tax amendment is being processed right now. And I'm sorry, I didn't completely understand what you mean by 3 years, less 180 days rule. Could you clarify a little bit more?

I don't have any proofs, but I was treating my back problems (I did not pay any bills in the USA, rent, did not work, etc.). My wife was living with me and my family during that time

Does the 4 year and 1 day rule (2 years and 1 day rule for me) apply to me?

We were living together for a half of that time, but don't have proof because it was with my family in Ukraine.

So when would that be on your opinion?

Hello, I received my Green Card through CR-1 visa (marriage to a US citizen) on March 28, 2021. I visited my wife and her family for about a month and left on May 2nd, 2021. She then went to visit me and the next time I flew into the U.S. was February 22, 2022 (meaning I wasn't in the U.S. for 296 days) and ever since then, I've been here, so for about a year and a half. I am confused on when I'm able to apply for citizenship (N-400). Is it 3 years after the date from which I received my Green Card, (received 3.28.21 so 3 years will be on 3.28.24, minus 90 days early filing), or because the first year after I got my Green Card I was absent from the U.S. for 296 days I'm not able to start applying at the end of this year, I would have to wait another year? I'm confused because I see some people say that I would need to be in the U.S. for 183 days/year for them to consider it one year, and then I see others say that I would need to live in the U.S. for consecutive 1.5 years during a duration of 3 years from the day I received my Green Card. So, overall my timeline goes like this: 3.28.2021 - First day in the U.S. and received Green Card 5.2.2021 - Left the U.S. 2.22.2022 - Returned to the U.S. (after absence of 296 days) 7.16.2023 - Still in the U.S. Any help would be appreciated, Thank you.

"case possibly requires a deeper analysis by USCIS" actually this doesn't sound very well for me xD
