Hello,
I applied for my citizenship on 11/27/2006. The receipt date is 11/29/2006 but the notice date is 11/30/2006. My five year anniversary for having my Green Card is 02/27/2007. It is exactly 90 days between 11/29 and 2/27. Is that a problem?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks,
 
You might still be in trouble because you signed the application before the 90 days. Can't do anything about it but wait and hopefully you will be lucky.
 
I don't think USCIS will care if just a day.

I'm pretty sure for N-400 they mean 90 calendar days. I think I would have read something somewhere if it were 90 business days.
 
I've already posted I have similar situation. Signed the form on the 90th day and tsc got it on the day 87. One friend of mine sent me this:

we may FILE for naturalization up to 90 days before 5 years requirement( PAGE 22 "guide to naturalization")


General Information and Introduction to Form N-400



The following text is taken from the CIS Adjudicator's Field Manual, Chapter 74.


74.1 General Information and Introduction to Form N-400.


2) Filing the Application for Naturalization. The filing date of the application controls the eligibility of the applicant. The date of filing a naturalization application is the date when the application is properly received by the Service Center having jurisdiction, which requires that the application be signed and accompanied by the appropriate fee, 8 CFR 103.7
 
and as HURACAN have mentioned before nobody can predict the results of these situations with 100 % sureness.
All we can do is wait and hope we will be lucky.

The USCIS web site indicates that they received my application on 11/30/06.

Don't trust the web site for when they say they received it. Trust the paper receipt notice.

Some people got their receipt 2 or 3 months after applying, and the paper receipt reflects when it arrived at USCIS, but the web site shows a date two months after that. Apparently the web site shows when USCIS punched it into the system, not when they actually received it.
