Good evening Vj'ers! :)

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I haven't been able to find out certain specifics. Please forgive me for asking this question once again.

We are currently going through the ROC process for my husband. We filed with VSC on March 8, 2011. Our date for availability to file was February 16, 2011.

We were making sure to "cross all of our t's and dot all of our i's" before sending things in.

Now, on to my question....

Due to VSC being behind and looking like that could possibly run longer then the "6 months" before approval, we were wondering if we must have the 10 year green card

in hand, before filing for citizenship in 2012?

I know you're required to be a PR for at least 3 years, but wasn't sure if having a pending ROC would count towards that 3 year mark.

Thanks in advance and I/we appreciate the help anyone can give us on this question.

No.

In cases where ROC seems to take "forever," filing the N-400 will force USCIS to adjudicate the I-751 first.

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.

For the sending in a copy of that green card requirement, we had to send in a copy of wifes' expired conditional card and a copy of her one year extension. Her one year extension was just about to expire. We already made an infopass appointment for an I-551 stamp in her passport, but could cancel it when her ten year card finally came in. Its up to you to keep yourself legal. She had her interview about 8 days after her one year extension when she could show her new fresh ten year card. Six weeks after that, had her oath ceremony where they promptly

took it back.

I did make a nice copy of her new green card for her interview, she said her IO said thank you. Was a stressful time.

Thank you kindly, for sharing your answers. I/we really appreciate it. Hopefully, VSC will have our ROC done before hand, but we want to be fully

prepared in case there are any hangups. Even if they speed up their processing, I still don't think he'll have his 10 year card, for very long before

we file N-400.

Have a great day!
