expatforums - View Single Post - Sending citizenship application 21 days earlier

It will cause problems - read the instruction carefully. You must have
accumulated full 1,095 days before applying. Your application may not be
refused, but shortage will cause processing to be delayed by at least few
months as judge will have to assess the situation or by 6 - 8 or so months
if you will be called for a hearing. In any case delay will be substantially
longer than the 21 days shortage you have. Wait another 3 weeks, what's the
hurry?
