[Donal78 0]

I originally got my temp resident card on 10/31/06. I now have my 10 year card since May. Can i apply in October to be a citizen? How long does the process normally take? My spouse is american and i originally came here on a K1.

Three years after marriage allows you to apply for USC.

Actually it is three years after becoming a permanent resident, not three years after marriage. You have to be married to and living with the same US citizen the whole three years, though, if you are applying early through the marriage to a US citizen option. The earliest you can apply is 90 days before the 3rd anniversary of getting your green card as long as you have already been married at least 3 years when you apply.
