Filing Date- 90 Days Before completing 5 years

I saw that Green Card Holders can apply for US Citizenship 90 days before they complete their 5 years tenure in the USA. In my case, I will complete 5 years stay in USA on Dec 24th. So that means I can apply on Sept 24th for my US citizenship. My question is can I start entering my details in the N-400 Application now and save it for the time being, then submit it on Sept 24th or after. I hope the submission date is considered the filing date, right? I hope the date I open the form is not considered the filing date... Do you have any idea?

Whether you are applying for it online or thru mail, yes, you can fill the info beforehand and submit within 90 days of 5 year GC anniversary. As said, do it few days after you can go for it rather than on the first day.

 

Just to make sure you are aware, it’s not the 5 years of stay/tenure in the US but the 5 years from the residence date mentioned in the GC. Depending on how one became the LPR, those 5 years may coincide or may be different.

Just make sure to login and make updates periodically. The system will automatically erase your entries after certain period of time of inactivity (I believe it's one month).

I created my USCIS account 126 days before my 5th year anniversary, making sure to login and revise something within 30 days each time so that my data won't be erased. I don't know if simply logging in is enough so I just do small changes.

 

It took me a long time to be ready and still ended up submitting 45 days before the gc anniversary.
