When to apply? 3 years or - 90 days??

[Summer75 16]

Hello VJ Family:

I am not sure about this:

I came with a CR-1 visa, got here on 04/14/2010. My greencard has the same date 04/14/2010.

I am now waiting for my 10 yrs greencard.

IT will be 3 years in 04/14/2013 since I got here. I left the country for vacation only 3 weeks in Sept 2010.

Me and my husband(thank God) have a happy marriage.

My question is: To apply for citizenship, do I have to wait until 04/14/2013 or can I do it 90 days earlier (as we did our ROC?)))

Thank you for your answers :star:

90 day earlier is when the window opens. You cannot be approved until the 3 year anniversary though so most people advise waiting a couple of weeks before filing so you're not having your paperwork sitting around waiting for your 3 year anniversary.

It looks like you can apply in January next year but start applying in February to be on the safe side. Losing 700 dollars for being few days too early is not worth it.
