N-400 Filing - 3 Month State Residency Requirement

[rags8777 0]

I am eligible to file for my N-400 on September 1st. I have been a resident of MN for 5 years. I am planning on going on a vacation in August for a 6 weeks. What is the exact meaning of the 3 year requirement - should I be continously living in MN 3 months before filing N-400?

If I go on the vacation and come back, do I have to wait 3 months before filing the N-400 ?

Thank you,

Raghu

It simply means that if you move from MN to, say, NY, you have to wait until you've lived in NY for 3 months before you can apply for citizenship even if you meet all the basic requirements for citizenship. Go ahead and take your 6-week vacation and don't worry about it!

ditto

if you moved to a new state, you'd have to live there 3 months before filing the form

not your case
