Expidited citizenship for military spouses?

[His_Wifey 1]

i just read the guide for naturalization and it always states that you have to be a permanent resident... that is have the 10 yr green card.. what if you re a conditional residence and have only the 2 year green card residency??

thanks a lot

If you have the 2 year greencard, you're a conditional permanent resident. Isn't that what it says on your greencard?

hi stella.... i ll be entering the usa soon.... so i still got to receive it but husband will get the PCS for next january.... so i was reading about the subject since i will only have a few months in the usa and then we ll be moving.... and im confused..... even on the N400 application there are questions like :

"Part 7:

how many days did you stay outside the usa during the last 5 years?"

if i had just moved the usa, since i will be a new conditional resident, i would have to answer all the 5 years.... since i would be just moving there and would be applying coz of 319 B law.... so i really wont know what to answer

I was outside of the US for about 3 1/2 of the five years before I applied for the N-400. We had been stationed overseas and returned about 1 1/2 years before I filed my N-400. I put down all the days I was outside and explained on a separate sheet of paper why I had been overseas for so long and also included the military orders which confirmed this.

I know that people, who file under Section 319a after only three years as a permanent resident, most of the time only include the past three years when they write down their days outside of the US. You could do that also and explain that you file under Section 319b and that you only included the time since you became a (conditional) permanent resident.

i would be in the US for only a few months.... so i guess i shall write on the seperate piece of paper the day i entered the US and that i be applying under section 319b.... shall i ask the military helpline?

hi guys, i just found this forum and i can see that the last post was made in june. I hope somebody reads this. my husband is in the military and he is staioned in germany. i finally got the command sponsorship which puts my name on his orders. i know i am eligible for naturalization even though i have a conditional green card. my question is, do i file the N-400 from the US where i am right now or should i move to germany first and then apply? also what is a I- 751? do i have to file that too? i don't have my travel dates yet. any help would be much appreciated.

Hi UST82,

I-751 is the Petition to Remove the Conditions on Residence.

And YES you are elegible to file for N-400 under Expedited Naturalization under INA Section 319 ( b ) as long as your husband got his command sponsorship orders to be stationed over seas for a period major than one year.

You should file in the US before PCSing.

Hope that was of a help tp your concerns.

You file I-751 ONLY IF you are within the 90 days of your conditional green card expiration that. If not, send in the N400.

I know this is a stupid question, but what is considered abroad? If like it's PCSing to Hawaii or Guam, will that count? thanks!
