When to file? - Eligibility Question

[cupcake07 0]

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding -When to file- and eligibility. I have looked online but find the answers different each time and slightly confusing and was hoping I could get help from you.

I will hopefully receive my 10year GreenCard within the next few months. My husband and I have been married for almost 3 years.

I have read that you can apply for Citiznship after being married for 3 years but somewhere else I read you need to be a permanent resident for 5 years? Now if the second part is true, does conditional residence count or do you start "counting down" as soon as you become permanent resident? I am so confused...

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

You have to have been married for 3 years AND have held a greencard for 3 years AND have lived in the USA with your Spouse for 3 years.

You may apply 90 days before the 3rd anniversarry of you getting your greencard as long as you meet all the other requirments.

Does the conditional greencard count or only the 10-year green card?

A Greencard is a greencard, you became a LPR the day you were approved for your Greencard, the fact you had to file to remove conditions does not make any diffrence.
