My wife was approved for Naturalization. She became a US citizen before we got married the same month. Her status was still Single when she received her Certificate of Naturalization. I was wondering what are the steps on changing her marital status..

P.S. She needs to change her address too since were moving in together.. How??

Im confused do you not have to be married for 3 years to apply for citizenship?or is that only for people that have been in America for a few years previous to the marriage?

Your status changed from single to married when you got married. From now on you both will file your taxes as being married, on that's the only change in status as far as Uncle Sam is concerned.

Once you moved in together, she'll stop by at the local DMV and asks for a new driver license that shows her new address. Then she stops by at her bank to update their records, just in case they still mail the account statements. The same needs to be done with credit card bills or any other bills that are being mailed to her old address. None of this has anything to do with citizenship, as anybody who changes their name or moves to a new address needs to do that.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
