Type on the computer or handwrite N-400?

This may be a silly concern and it may have been posted on the forum before so I apologize if I missed it. I started filling out the application on the computer and then I noticed that I am not allowed to type on certain fields or add an e-sig at the end of the application. Is it ok if most of the form is typed on the computer and then you just handwrite any fields necessary and sign it or just print out all pages and fill the whole form by hand? I was also thinking filling out the application online but I am not sure what the "Unemployment period" is referring to when filing out work history. I have never filed an actual unemployment application to receive benefits from the state. The only period I was unemployed was when I first landed in the US 5 years ago and had to live for a few months on a relative's house as I needed some time to settle down and search for a job. I was also unemployed for a week during COVID period, but I didn't file for unemployment benefits.

Need some advice on my Naturalization application

Hello all. I am a LPR holder for 5 years (DV Lottery winner) and I am thinking of applying for naturalization based on 5 years of residency NOT marriage ( In 2019 I got married and this past September we had our first baby), but I have some concerns and I am not sure how to address them on the application. I want to be truthful obviously, I just would like to know if there is any risk of denial for some reason. I will list my concerns below in case anyone has a similar experience. This website and the posters have been very helpful all these years and I appreciate all the help.

1. Tax return

I got my green card on 11/13/2015 and landed in NYC on the following day. In 2016, I asked the accountant which I was referred to by the community if I should file taxes for the period of 2015 and he specifically told me that I do not need to file because I was an LPR only for two months in 2015 (Nov-Dec) and I didn't have any job or bank account. But lately I have been reading that you are required to file taxes even if you are an LPR for one day or so. Is there a legitimate reason I should be concerned about this? Can I file a tax return for 2015 just to be safe if that is an option at all?

2. Multiple travels outside of US in the past 5 years ( I am listing below detailed dates and sum of days outside of the US)

ARRIVAL IN US as LPR on 11/14/2015

DEPARTED 01/22/2016 ARRIVAL 03/05/2016 44 DAYS

DEPARTED 06/11/2016 ARRIVAL 06/21/2016 11 DAYS

DEPARTED 04/12/2016 ARRIVAL 12/21/2016 18 DAYS

DEPARTED 07/26/2019 ARRIVAL 07/30/2019 5 DAYS

On two of those trips visiting my home country, I also did two trips to Europe to attend a conference.

TOTAL DAYS OUTSIDE OF THE US: 88

3. Traffic tickets and 5 points on my driver's record.

- I got my first traffic ticket on Dec 2018 for cellphone use and I hired an attorney that told me that the ticket was dismissed.

- Next year, I got one more for cell phone which I was found guilty and paid the fine.

- Disobeying traffic device. Hearing is scheduled for 2021.

I also got two more tickets for red light and no standing bust stop but I wasn't driving my car so the tickets were issued to the owner of the car but I paid them of course. Should I mention those at all since I didn't provide my driver's license but I was driving the vehicle.

Thanks for taking the time to read my case and I will look forward to hear opinions.

Hi all!

I would like to schedule in a while my travel to USA (incuding a 14 day quarantine - second time i will do that...) but this time I want to stay longer of course under 90 days and 180 days per year have not been reached. We have started the K-1 and received NOA 1 few days ago.

My questions are the following:

1- If in general is ok having the ESTA to work for my normal work online as employee of the greek company? My employer is ok with that but not sure if for US is illegal?

2- As my work is online anyway now with covid and actually i will not take many days off how i will prove that i have no intention to stay in US regarding the job part? I can have my work contract, is that enough? (of course will have air train tickets for my return back at home, proofs of relationship etc etc.)

Any advices?

Thank you in advance!

Best

Christine
