N 400 Application Denial Appeal

Summary

USCIS typically considers a month as 30 days, making 3 months equal to 90 days. Since you stayed 85 days prior to filing, it falls short of the 3-month requirement. The wording in the rule can be argued as ambiguous. Consult an immigration attorney for a proper evaluation of your case.

My N-* application has been denied because I resided in the State of filing only 85 days prior to filing my application. They said that I don't comply with the "at least 3 months rule". But I understand that 1 month is * weeks and 3 months is * weeks so 84 days and I should be fine with the "at least 3 months rule". During the interview, the officer mentioned that 3 months means 90 days but I don't have seen this written anywhere. The rule says "at least 3 months" all the time but not any specification on days. Do I have a reasonable case for appeal?.
Hello ****. The USCIS typically considers a month as 30 days, hence 3 months would equal 90 days. Since you stayed 85 days prior to filing, it falls short of the *-month requirement. However, the wording in the rule can be argued as ambiguous. It might be beneficial to consult with an immigration attorney for a proper evaluation of your case.
Thank you
Hello ****, I'm glad you found the information helpful. An immigration attorney could provide you with more specific advice regarding your situation. Remember that although the term "3 months" might seem ambiguous, the USCIS usually considers it as 90 days. Your attorney could guide you in possibly filing an appeal. Is there anything else you would like to know?
No. Thank you very much again.
You're welcome, ****. I'm glad I could provide some guidance. Don't hesitate to return if you have more questions in the future. Best of luck with your case!
