Hello,

I needed to clarify on a doubt I had regrading applying for naturalization 90 days in advance. If someone could clarify, it would be much appreciated!

Case:
Greencard obtained: 9/2001
Married to a USC spouse: 6/2003
Applying for N-400 thru' the same US spouse: 1/2012

Considering the above information, does the 90 day advance rule also apply in this particular case, so that I could apply in 10/11 instead of 1/12?​

Thanks in advance!

What's your real question? What is the real issue? Something of major importance is missing from your post or your are of exceedingly low IQ.

Quit playing games and post a REAL question.

The 90-day headstart is for people who haven't completed 5 years (or 3 years, in the case of marriage to a USC) of continuous residence. You're already long past that, so what is your concern?

And why do you want to apply based on marriage to a USC, when you've had a green card for much more than 5 years which qualifies you for the simpler 5 year option?
 
Low IQ definitely applies :)

OK, maybe the "something of major importance" part would be:

In 2007 & 2008, I was out of the country for more than 6 months and hence am eligible to apply again by Jan '12. The question in mind was if I could apply in Oct '11, with the 90-day advance rule?

Is this a valid inquiry or maybe I am missing something in my understanding?

when you stayed out of country for more than 6 months, you would fall under 4 year + 1 day rule from the date of your last return from 6 months or longer trip. (90 rule is not applicable in that case).

you could read more details on eligibility criteria here: http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/M-476.pdf

good luck
