One Year & One day difference from marriage and GC, now what?

[oSanto 1]

Dear friends,

my wife entered US on a K1 visa. We got married, did the AOS and after one year and one day she received the GC.

So these are the qualifying dates:

01-20-2007 marriage

01-21-2008 GC with indication resident since 01-21-2008

The "limbo" of 366 days in between our marriage and my wife GC, what was the status of my wife?

Which date should I consider when counting the 3yrs of residency before applying for the N400?

Thank you for your suggestions.

From what I understand, it's the initial date of the first greencard. I could be wrong, though.

If it is says on her greencard 1/21/08 it is 3 years from that date minus 90 days. So it sounds like around Dec of this year she could apply.

Pending AOS

Count 3 years minus 90 days from the date that is written on her GC and you'll find the exact date when she will be eligible to submit the N400.

They don't care when you got married, only when they adjusted your status to a resident.

Go from the date on the P.R Card....count 3 yrs from then....you can apply 90 days before the 3 yrs..

Have to meet both marriage and green card dates.

01-20-2007 marriage

Since you have been married for three years, you meet that date right now.

01-21-2008 GC with indication resident since 01-21-2008

But you won't meet the green date until 01/21/2011. But like the others said, you can send your application no more than 90 days before 01/21/2011. That may get your interview done earlier, but you cannot become a USC before 01/21/2011.

What you can do now is collect evidence.
