Hi all -
I'll soon be filing my N-400, and I have a question about the application. How picky are they about the "Time Outside the United States" section? I satisfy all of the requirements for days in residence, etc, by a wide margin, but I'm not sure of my ability to correctly account for 100% of my trips outside the US during the past 5 years. I have traveled to Mexico, Costa Rica, and the UK a number of times, and should have those trips documented in my passport, but I'm a Canadian citizen and I have traveled to Canada 8 or 10 times, usually for a week or less per trip, in the past 5 years, and few or none of these trips are documented in my passport. I could guess at the travel dates and durations, but I'll surely get most of these wrong.
I assume there is an electronic record of my entries, so any errors I make in documenting my travel will surely be noticed. Is there a way to declare in advance that I am not sure of the exact dates of the travel?
