I am going to be filing by N-400 next month and I just came across a moment of confusion. I will be applying under the 3 year rule for spouses of US citizens. One of the questions asks about trips outside of the US in the past 5 years, and whether they were 6 months or longer. I had a trip in 2016 that was 6.5 months, but this was before I became a permanent resident (January 2018). Do I still list everything from the last 5 years, even though I am filing under the 3 year rule? I would assume the answer is yes, but that it would be noted that years 4 & 5 don't really apply since spouses of US citizens only need a 3 year continuous residency and therefore nothing is broken...

 

(I will be applying online, so when I say on the very first page I am applying under 3 year rule, does the question later in the form change to reflect? I have been looking at the paper forms)
