timing the N-400 application

[cicero 0]

Hello everyone,

I am wondering if there is any danger to be called at an interview before you will have the 5-year period completed as a lawful permanent resident. Could your application be delayed or even rejected because of this situation?

In other words, would it be safer to wait 5 full years instead of applying for naturalization up to 90 days before you meet the "continuous residence" requirement?

Thank you.

I agree.

To start with, the rules state you are eligable to apply 90 days before the anniversary.

Seccondly, as things currently stand, it will take much more than 90 days to process your citizenship application - even in a best-case scenario.

Jamie

It will be o.k.

In most cases, it will take more than 90 days to have interviewed.

In my case, it was very closed to 5 years anniversary.

I think my 5 year anniversary date was Sep 23 or 24 something like that.

I didn't have any problem.

But then if that's the case, they will delay oath ceremony on or after 5 year anniversary date any way.

My oath ceremony was scheduled without delay since available oath ceremony date was after 5 year anniversary date.
