 Share

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! I came here in the US through marriage to a US citizen, with a CR1 visa, but before I was able to get my permanent GC my ex filed a divorce. Shortly after that I receive my permanent GC, I filed on my own. To cut the story short I got re married to a military guy, we've been together for two years now and 1 child. It's been 4 years since my first entry to the US, my question is am I already eligible to apply for Naturalization? I read that after 3 years I can already apply provided that I am still married to the US citizen that petitioned me from the Philippines. Please correct me if I'm wrong, that's just how I understand it.

These are the general requirements, it does not say that you have to be married to the person that brought you here, as long as you have been married for 3 years to the current spouse and he/she has been a US citizen for those 3 years.

  • Be a permanent resident (green card holder) for at least 3 years immediately preceding the date of filing Form N-400, Application for Naturalization
  • Have been living in marital union with the U.S. citizen spouse, who has been a U.S. citizen during all of such period, during the 3 years immediately preceding the date of filing the application and up until examination on the application
  • Have lived within the state, or USCIS district with jurisdiction over the applicant’s place of residence, for at least 3 months prior to the date of filing the application
  • Have continuous residence in the United States as a lawful permanent resident for at least 3 years immediately preceding the date of filing the application
  • Reside continuously within the United States from the date of application for naturalization until the time of naturalization
  • Be physically present in the United States for at least 18 months out of the 3 years immediately preceding the date of filing the application
  • Be able to read, write, and speak English and have knowledge and an understanding of U.S. history and government (also known as civics)
