What's the Deal ?

[kintu 4]

Hello fellow members, i have a question in my mind which i am pretty sure that members in this section would be able to answer.when is the 3 year period en route to Naturalization starts for an alien married to a USC ? Will the three years period starts the moment the alien gets a conditional GC or the Alien has to get a unconditional GC first in order to be counted for the set 3 years period ? this question is purely out of curiosity,kindly enlighten.

P.S - Apologies if posted in the wrong section.

When the GC is first issued.

The 3 year period begins once LPR status has been achieved before the conditions are lifted. When applying on this contingency you may apply 90 days (not 3 months) before the 3 year anniversary of Being granted LPR.

thanks for your comments but folks , i am still not clear, does the 3 year period for naturalization begins after getting the Conditional GC or after lifting the Conditions and getting the unconditional Green card.

3 years from the date on the original conditional 2 yr card which is what I think you're asking? Your 10 yr card actually has the same effective date as your 2 year card did (resident since...) which you may not ahve noticed. It most cases you've also obviously been married 3 yrs as well.

you are welcome!

Just be careful with the calculator that you are married for 3 years before you use it. For example, if your 3 year marriage anniversary is AFTER the date you get when you use the calculator, you still cannot apply until after your 3 year marriage anniversary (I made this mistake!)

this has nothing to do with you marriage anniversary, it clearly states:

"Permanent Resident 3 or 5 Year Anniversary Date: "

it's talking about the Anniversary date on your green card which is the date it was issued, "Resident Since"!!

In addition, you need to have been married for 3 years before you can apply.

ok , some of the inputs have boggled me again. so , the deal is you can apply for the citizenship if you even a CGC holder but had been married for 3 years ? correct me if i am wrong.

Married for at least 3 years, permanent resident for at least 3 years less 90 days. That's the first day you can apply. If the 90-day window opens before you have reached your third wedding anniversary, your application will not be accepted.
