Hi All,

I get married in December 2009 and received my first conditional card in March 2010. and i received my New card in October 2012.

I know that i can file for citizenship within 3 years if i am still married or 5 years if i am not(Just a green card holder).

My question is:

My wife and I are not really in a good standing with our marriage and we are thinking of divorce. is that going to affect my request for citizenship?

Please advise.

Do you mean will it affect you if you are going through divorce proceedings but aren't divorced yet?

Not exactly, what i mean is if we get divorced soon. let's say next couple months, which i think that's where our relation is going to.

If i file for citizenship in 2015 , is my divorce will be a problem ?

No it will not because you will be applying based on 5 years of residency not the 3 years rasidency which requires the marriage to be entact.

Please advise.

Your time outside the US, filing US tax returns, and residency will be more important than your previous marriage.
