Where did you learn of that supposed 3 years residency requirement? Perhaps it is about 3 years immigration rule as part of citizenship prerequisite place like in Canada and some countries.

To be United States of America Citizen, immigration rule is 5 years citizenship prerequisite prior talk naturalization exam.

I mean "taking" instead" in ...prior taking naturalization exam.

Back from dinner.

So, the most important transition is having green card, rather than I-130, because getting into Port of Entry and when US Customs and Borders Protection (US CBP) stamped on your passport you are hereby Legal Permanent Resident!

As new resident, he or she is on secured pathway on becoming U.S. Citizen when time come to apply naturalization legally.

On resolving your 3 years question. I recalled back then, when I was enticed on moving to Canada, that nations such as Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, together with immigration/visa agencies, bombard internet with ads literally saying "We wants YOU to consider emigration to our country." Their reasons are need of mixed population, their economy strive for boost when such newcomers could give strongest backbone (financial fuel and skill) in making contribute their commerce, and finally, to improve their nation identity.

Now, this thread got to relocate elsewhere because it is not relate to DCF topic.

Those LPRs married to and living with US citizen spouses in America only have to wait 3 years to naturalize.
