Understanding when I may apply for citizenship?

[Rushton50 10]

HI all, I guess this is where my last stop will be in the whole process of the VJ!

I had my I-751 approved with a decision date of 10/07/2013 so the process took 4 months and a few days.

I entered the U.S August 29th 2011. Am I right in my calculations that I may submit my N-400 within the 90 day window of my 3rd anniversary, that window starting in June 2014?

Glad to have finished the 751 process!

Look at the 'resident since' date on your GC. You can apply 3 years -90 days from that date...assuming you are still married.

Does your Green Card say you were a "Resident Since" Aug 2011?. If yes, then you are eligible to apply for citizenship within 90days of your 3rd yr anniversary of becoming a Permanent Resident.

My current or extended 2 year GC states "Since 8/29/11" I do not yet have my updated 10 year card as they state it will be with me within 60 days, but know others have been getting them within 2 weeks.

August 29th 2011 is the date since which you have been a permanent resident,. It was conditional as it was a 2-year green card, yes, but you were an LPR regardless, so you will be able to apply for citizenship as early as May 30th, 2014.

The date of residency or "Resident Since" on

your 2yr GC will be the same on your 10yr GC. So, you are eligible to file for N400 90 days before 8/29/14.
