if you apply for your spouse while you are a greencard holder and they get their greencard from you with the I-130 then you become a us citizen does your spouse have 3 or 5 years to be a citizen knowing they got their GC at the time of you being a GC holder also. or does it not matter?

When looking at the 3/3/3 requirement, it is the latest of the following dates:

1) resident has been married for 3 years

2) resident has been a green card holder for three years

3) resident has been a spouse of a USC who has been a citizen for at least 3 years.

Most people the latest date is three years greencard... for your spouse it might be 3 year anniversary of your citizenship...

Or

If the resident hits the 5 year GC mark before the latest of any of the above dates, then it is the 5 year qualification

Eligible to apply for citizenship on the earlier date of your 3 year anniversary of citizenship or his 5 year anniversary of he becoming a greencard holder.

He'll probably be eligible to apply three years after you become a citizen.

If he's applying based on the three year rule, then on the day he applies, ALL of the following things must be true:

* He's been a LPR for at least three years less 90 days.

* He's been married to and living with you for at least three full years.

* You've been a US citizen for at least three full years.

On the day he actually becomes a citizen, all of the following things must be true:

* He's been a LPR for at least three full years.

* He's been married to and living with you for at least three full years.

* You've been a US citizen for at least three full years.
