a question about eligibility

[Mus24 0]

I have a question regarding spouse applying for naturalization through marriage to US citizen husband.

We all know she can apply after remaining married for 3 years.

If the applicant spent 30 days in US as LPR before her husband became a US Citizen,do those 30 days count towards residence requirement?

Thanks.

You should probably start your own thread instead of hijacking this one Just a tip.

post split off from older thread to make its own topic. It is always better to start a new thread when you are asking about a different or new situation.

The requirements state that you need to be married to the US citizen spouse for a full three years in order to apply for Naturalization. If your spouse wasn't a citizen for the first 30 days of your permanent residency, then you have not been married to a US citizen spouse for a full three years even though you have been married for three years. Wait until your spouse has been a US citizen for the full 3 years as well before you apply. It isn't a long wait under the circumstances.
