you can apply 3 years after getting your green card, conditional or not...

3 years after the second green card am i correct? :help: thanks!

no, 3 years after becoming a permanent resident... you are a permanent resident whether or not you have the 2 year conditional card (1st card) or the 10 year card (2nd card)...

okay let me get this right. (sorry if this is not registering for me). We just got her adjustment of status. she's been here roughtly 3 years already. We can already apply for naturalization? am i understanding this correct?

look at the date on her green card... 3 years after that date she can apply to be a citizen... she became a permanent resident after her adjustment of status was approved and received her green card...

i'm looking at her green card, and is it 3 years when the card expires or 3 years where it says "resident since"?

It is 3 years from the Resident Since date..... so if she just got her 1st greencard in Jan 2008 she will be eligible to file for Citizenship in Jan 2011, USCIS allows you to file 90 days before that, so the earliest she could file would be Oct 2010...
