hi Anna29 and welcome to VJ!

The date you need to count from is when you became a LPR which shows on your GC. From what you mentioned above, you look like you are eligible now (Assuming you are still married and living with your USC spouse).

In general, based on a marriage to a USC, LPRs are eligible after 3 years, otherwise 5 years. There are more rules but this is the simplest answer.

Opps! forgot to answer the second part of your question.

Following my first answer, it depends on how long you have been a LPR. If you are nearing 5 years, then I would recommend you wait since based on 5 years LPR, you will have to go through a simpler process of providing evidence. Usually, you will need to show tax returns and show that you haven't been out of the US for extended periods of time. If you apply based on 3 years, then you need to submit some documentation to show that you are still married to the same USC, and provide some evidence to support it. It is not as intense as AOS or ROC, but it is more paperwork.

Thank you so much for your answer, that's really helpfull.

I am married to the same USC, and i looked at my GC, it's dated as Permanent Resident since 9/25/2005.Now my next question is , last year i was out of the country for 6 months, i come back to the US in February this year, i had to renew my nursing license in my Country. Do i have to add this six months before applying for naturalization. This was my longest trip outside the US. I go in Romania once a year but not more that 2-3 weeks vacation.

How long is Naturalization process? I know when I removed conditions it took forever.

Thank you again for answers, you guys are wonderful!

3 to 5 yrs of being a permanent resident and have not stayed outside of the US for more than 6months in 3 yrs time. I think you are eligible to file for N-400 now. Best of luck! I am just going through the post and come across yours. I know you posted it way back but nobody has answered you, I just thought i'd drop by. I am on my process of mine too and It's has only been over 3 yrs since I became a PR.
