I was married to an Us Citizen from Oct 2007 to June 2012 (4.5 years) and been a green card holder and permanent resident since 05/21/09. I remarried an Us Citizen in May 2013. Can I file for Citizenship yet or do I need to wait for the 5 year lapse comming May.? Since the N400 form says you can file if you've been married for 3 years.

Thank you for any advice

You were not married to the same US citizen for the whole three years. However id your resident since date on your green card says 05/21/09 the you can file for citizenship based on five years as of right now. USCIS gives you a window of 90 days before your 5th anniversary, which you are in it already. So you can go ahead and apply now.

You can only file based on 3 years of marriage to US citizen if you're still married to and living with the same USC. But, you can apply 90 days before your 5 year permanent residence anniversary (90 days prior to 5/21/2014, so that is actually right now..
