How soon can I apply for US citizenship ?

Ok guys so, I am going to work on 4years + 1 day rule and thinking to apply for n400 BUT what happens IF my N-400 application is denied? Can I re-apply right after Feb 12, 2013?

If you get denied on continuous residency grounds, you'll be able to re-file N-400 as soon as the continuous residency requirement is met; and you'll also have the option to appeal the denial.
If you get denied for some other reason (e.g., hypothetically speaking, for something to do with criminal history or other GMC issues), the consequences could be different.
 
Folks,

Don't get me wrong but I've asked this question to a lawyer and he says 4 year + 1 day rule is applicable only for permanent residents who have established a long residence in the US year or more and then broke their continuous residence.

What do you think?

That lawyer was confusing the N-470 with the 4 year and 1 day rule.

I haven't applied yet but I am about to..baikal3 suggested to write down this "you don't check box "A" but rather check box "D" (Other) and write something like "8 CFR 316.5(c) (1) (ii), 4 years plus one day rule" in the explanation field." are we agree on this? should I make any changes on that?
