Days or months?

[speedy1027]

My understanding is that one can apply for NATZ 3 months before 5yr anniversary for an employment based GC.

For this:
Does one have to calculate the # of days resident status completed before applying for the NATZ
or
months completed (57)?

If its the days, how many days should be complete?

Thanks,

Basically, you take your resident since date, add 5 years to this date, and then minus 90 days from the 5 year date.

Yes, add 5 to the year, and then subtract 90 days from the result. It's best to wait a handful of days past whatever you calculate (in case your calculation is off somewhat (say by a day) from yours -- who knows how they do their math).

For example, GC date = 27-May-2002
Add 5 years = 27-May-2007
Subtract 90 days (using excel) = 26-Feb-2007
(note that because feb has 28 days, you lost a day relative to 3 months)

Then add 5 days (for good luck) and you get 3-Mar-2007

See this Caliculation

May27 2002
May 27 2003 365
May 27 2004 365+1
May 27 2005 365
May 27 2006 365
May 27 2007 365

1825 -90==1735
Each year is 365
Total 5 years = 1825
Minus 90 days= 1735

May 27 2007 to April 28 2007 =30
April 27 2007 to March 28 2007= 31
March 27 2007 to Feb 26 2007= 30
So the filing date for this case will be Feb 26 2007 with extra 2 days added here ,because 2004 is a leap year and Feb has 29 days.
Let me know if this correct.
