Philip and I are able to apply for his Naturalization after Oct. 15th.
Going over the forms everything seems very easy to answer, but I have questions about Part 7 - about Time Outside Of the United States.
Question A asks:
How many total days did you spend outside of the United States during the last 5 years?
5 years ago, Philip was still living in Belfast. He has made no trips outside of the U.S. since arriving in March of 2002. We married April 2002 and he became a Legal Permanent Resident in January 2003.
Do we need to physically count the days he wasn't in the US in the past 5 years? Is that the answer to this question?
Question B asks:
How many trips of 24 hours or more have you taken outside of the United States during the past 5 years?
Again, Philip was living in Belfast and in the British Army. He took several trips from Beflast with varying destinations for both the British Army and for personal travel, but he never took a trip leaving the United States... unless he was going home to Belfast.
I appreciate any help as I am über confused.
Respectfully Submitted,
Jen

I am a bit confused with this bit though... how could he not make any trips outside the US *unless* he was going to Belfast? The answer to this may alter the answers above.

So, if he went from Belfast to Manchester (and then back home to Belfast) in December of 2004 - he has traveled outside of the United States within 5 years.
Sorry to confuse you, but that's exactly the state I was in when I made the post. It's only right for me to pass it along!
Thanks for your help. It's appreciated.

Parts 1 and 2 (total days, and number of trips) do ask for answers for the past five years. Part 3, which requires itemised details, asks only for the details of trips since becoming an LPR.
It's not that hard: follow the instructions...

If you were to reread MY post, you would see that I asked specifically about the questions that are labeled A and B. (You call these 1 and 2.) I have no problems with my answer for question C, nor did I ask about question C.
5 years ago, my husband was living in Belfast, with visits to the US and other countries. So, in the past 5 years, the number of total days that my husband spent outside of the US are going to be around 450+. The number of days spent outside of the US since becoming an LPR is 0. Do they want the 450+ answer? If they do, that's fine, but is the person reviewing our application going to be smart enough to realize that within the last 5 years Philip was still a resident of the UK?
In the past 5 years he has made MANY trips outside of the U.S. England, Scotland, Gibralter, etc. Since becoming an LPR he has made 0 trips outside of the US. Again, some concerns as above.
I just want to put the right information on Philip's application. I think that's why we're all here. If the instructions were perfectly palatable to us all... there would be no need for this discussion board other than for moral support... and there wouldn't already be two different answers posted to my one question.
Thank you.

Thank you.
1) do a search on previous questions such as yours. i.e. if marriage based, are answers based on a three year period or a five year period
or
2) consult a competent immigration attorney for aan
The choice is yours.

In section B, although it is not explicitly stated, the clear (to me at least) intent of the question is "how many trips has he made from the US to outside the US in the past five years. This reading is further bolstered by the fact that in section C the details required for trips outside the US of 24 hours or more include date of departure from, and date of return to the US. I would guess, though seeing as you want an absolute answer, you might want to consult an attorney, that while he was non-resident he Would not be deemed to be making trips outside the US as part of his visits to the US.

Part 7 A. is the TOTAL (Exact) days in the last 5 years he has spent outside the USA. As you say 450+, of course needs to be exact (Leap years etc).
7B Would be the number of trips, that are made up of those days. Could be 45 ten day trips or one 450 day trip
7C Is list trips of 24 hours or more since becoming a PR, husbands case "0".
The reason, the nosey ones are asking, (In your case, before hubby was even here) is they want to see if he has been to any dodgy/dubious countries in LAST 5 YEARS (The so called moral turpitude period).

The reason, the nosey ones are asking, (In your case, before hubby was even here) is they want to see if he has been to any dodgy/dubious countries in LAST 5 YEARS (The so called moral turpitude period).

[QUOTE=ian-mstm]Perhaps for the OP, but not necessarily so... especially for those who live along the Canada-US or Mexico-US border. Day trips are quite common and if they are under 24 hours, then they do not need to be listed in 7B.

This has to be among the most ridiculous responses I've ever seen... and I've been following this forum for 8 years!
I think Jennifer said, he has not made any trips since becoming a PR. SO nothing to list in 7B. Though, she does say, other then going to Belfast?????, if he went to Belfast for more then 24 hours since becoming a PR, then would need to list under 7B.
I'll roll with this one IAN.
Why do YOU think? they want to know where we have been & for how long.
