Forgot to list Canada trip on N-400 app

I took a 3 day Canada trip (by Car) in the summer of 2004 or 2005 and totally forgot about that until now. When I filed for N-400 I didn't mention about this trip. I see no stamp on my Passport and I can't remember the dates.

I have interview in couple of weeks, and if IO asks whether I want to add any thing, should I mention it? If I do, would it be okay if I can't give the exact dates? Or, should I just keep quite?

Thanks,
JS.

I would mention the trip and tell IO I don't remember the exact dates. This is assuming of course those 3 days won't interfere with your 30 months requirement.

Thanks for the suggestion, that's what I am thinking of doing too.

No, it won't affect 30 month requirement, I was out of US for not more than 105 days in last 5 years. It seems like the closer I get to my interview date, more questions/doubts I get :)
 
Tell the interviewer. If they see a record of the trip in their system and you didn't tell them about it, things could get ugly.

But I find it odd that you don't even know if it's 2004 or 2005? Surely you must be able to remember some event or place associated with the trip (including what happened shortly before or after the trip) that can help you to identify the year?

I forgot to mention my UAE trip on my N400 application and it was just for 3 days transit while coming to US and I forgot to mention during my interview but I did said about my Europe trip after my FP and IO jotted down in my application.

I think you should disclose all your trips to IO during interview.

Tell me about it, I completely forgot about this trip, until I saw that place on TV and remembered I have been there. Other than that, I couldn't remember any thing. I think it is on 2005, but not 100% sure.

Any way, I will tell the interviewer and hopefully it should be fine.

Thank you for saying that. :) I am doing that too and I thought I may be going crazy. :D Nice to know I am not alone.

I am going nuts here trying to think of anything I may have forgotten. :D :D

I am even thinking of ways a devious person that didn't like me could derail this. Talk about paranoid. :D
 
Well
I had taken trips to Canada. But I didn't mention in my N-400. I do know all the date and year. (Combined it was just 11 days trip to canda)
I hope missing will not be a Issue, I am planning to tell my trip to Canada at my interview.
While filling I was just looking at dates in Passport, and I totally forgot about Canada trip. Did anyone has such experience
Just trying to understand 30 months req. My wife was out of US for 153 days (combined from all her 4 trips). Is that fine or Issue
