N-400表格的Instruction裏說:
Early Filing. An applicant filing under the general naturalization provision (section 316(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)) may file his or her application up to 90 days before he or she would fist meet the required 5-year period of continuous residence as a Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR).
-It means you may file N-400 on the date of 4 years plus 9 months (not need to wait for five years) after you got your green card if you meet all the other requirements.
An applicant filing as the spouse of U.S. citizen under section 319(a) of INA may file up to 90 days before meeting the required 3-year period of continuous residence as an LPR. Although an applicant may file early according to the 90-day early filing provision, the applicant is not eligible for naturalization until he or she has reached the required 3- or 5-year period of continuous residence as an LPR. Applicants filing up to 90 days before meeting the continuous residence requirement must still meet all other requirements for naturalization at the time of filing the Form N-400. For example, an applicant filing under section 319(a) of the INA must meet all other requirements as the spouse of a U.S. citizen at the time of filing.
"Applicants filing up to 90 days before meeting the continuous residence requirement must still meet all other requirements for naturalization at the time of filing the Form N-400." 這裏意思是不是就是指:INA 316(a)裏的:
"...during the five years immediately preceding the date of filing his application has been physically present therein for periods totaling at least half of that time"
就是我在這4年9個月裏都必須滿足2年半的physical presence?
-Right, it is "one of the all other requirements for naturalization at the time of filing the Form N-400". So, it seems you don't meet this requirement by this time.
