Thanks for creating this thread. I'd like to start pulling together my husband's N-400 application, but I don't know if he's eligible to apply. He went back to his home country for a two week vacation recently (February 2016) -- does this cancel out his previous months spent in the US and restart the 3 year count?

It doesn't. you only have a problem if you are out of the United states for more than 6 months

Great! Thanks. When does the 3 year count begin? The date on our marriage license or the day my husband received his visa/green card?

From the USCIS website: "You may file Form N-400 ninety (90) calendar days before you complete your permanent residence requirement if your eligibility for naturalization is based upon being a:

• Permanent resident for at least 5 years; or
• Permanent resident for at least 3 years if you are married to a US citizen."

Use the early filing calculator here: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/dateCalculator.html

It's driven by the date of becoming a permanent resident

Got it. Based on the calculator he's not eligible to apply until January 2017. Thank you for helping me!

@Nana098 - The date that you mailed in the N-400 for your daughter is actually in October so you should post in the October filers thread. This is the November thread.

@Jamaican_Gooner - Did you include the form G-1145 for e-Notification with your N-400? Have you received any email or text message regarding the acceptance of your application? I included the form and my application was delivered on Wednesday but still haven't received any notification.

@Vegasbound, I did include the form G-1145 with my N-400, I haven't received any notification as yet but I also did form G-1450 to pay using my credit card, and I checked my CC account online and there is a pending payment for USCIS for 11/10, so I guess that confirms that they received it. I'm thinking the package is on someone's desk to be processed and as today is a holiday it should be processed and get the email and text next week. Just hold on in there, the journey is just about to begin, in the mean time just practice those citizenship questions, I found an app for Android so when I got some downtime I just run through a batch of questions, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.cm3d.free.uscitizenshiptest&hl=en.

All the best and have a good weekend

Good luck November filers! I'm curious, did you send 2 photos in spite of change in the instruction that only applicants residing overseas must provide them?

Yes, I did send 2 passport style photos with my application. I am aware of the change in the instructions but the document checklist hasn't been updated yet so I just followed the checklist. If they are not needed, then maybe they will be returned to me at the interview and I can use them for my passport application.

Good luck!
