N-400 early filing eligibility

[dirk_diggler 107]

This is regarding naturalization based on marriage to a USC spouse for 3 years.

Referring to the N400 instructions:

Early Filing. An applicant filing under the general naturalization provision (section 316(a) of the INA) may file his or her application up to 90 days before he or she would first meet the required 5-year period of continuous residence as a lawful permanent resident (LPR). An applicant filing as the spouse of a U.S. citizen under section 319(a) of the INA may file up to 90 days before meeting the required 3-year period of continuous residence as an LPR. Although an applicant may file early according to the 90-day early filing provision, the applicant is not eligible for naturalization until he or she has reached the required 3- or 5-year period of continuous residence as an LPR. Applicants filing up to 90 days before meeting the continuous residence requirement must still meet all other requirements for naturalization at the time of filing Form N-400. For example, an applicant filing under section 319(a) of the INA must meet all other requirements as the spouse of a U.S. citizen at the time of filing.

Can someone point me to what USCIS is referring to by "all other requirements for naturalization at the time of filing N-400"?

From what I see in the N-400, they are:

1) Married to the USC spouse for 3 years

2) USC spouse a citizen for the past 3 years

3) Live in the same state for the previous 3 months

Anything else I am missing?

There are several other requirements; physical presence, residency, trips outside the US, good moral character, etc. Read the USCIS pamphlet on who is eligible to naturalize.
