i did mine based on marriage.. after 5 years.. :P... should have done it sooner but getting my citizenship was never a top priority to me.. as long as we were together.. finally, she said we should file and that was that.. in my opinion, it went quicker based on marriage ( see my timeline below ) since i could have filed thru residency rule.. even the interview itself was quick.. it was basically just "you guys still married? ok".. "name change? no?".. oral exam and that was it.. pure chitchat about the philippines and i was out the door.. goodluck whatever path you choose..

as long as you have been in the US for the required period then you can file by yourself. Any trip outside the US for longer than 6 months require proof you didn't break your continuous residency and other such things.

read the requirements to make sure you meet them.
