From the Paper:
"Before becoming a legal U.S. citizen, a person must (with a few exceptions) have been a lawful permanent U.S. resident for at least five years. This criteria is very important, for one must be accurate when determining the time as a lawful permanent resident. With the application, if a person turns it in even one day early before the official eligibility date, the USCIS can disqualify it and force one to submit the application again. In order to avoid this situation, a person must determine exactly the number of years as a permanent residence which in all cases is shown on the "green card." Also, each year of permanent residence must be a full 365 days."Sample of Sources Used:
