She will be eligible for citizenship five years after she becomes a full-time resident. The three-year rule only applies to spouses.

Mom can apply based on the 5-year residency rule.

One quick question my mothers passport got stamped with the I-551 in Dec 2013 and she had time till May 15th to travel.

She entered US in May , I am still waiting for the physical green to arrive, I have paid the $165 fee in April 2013.

Will my mother GC show start date (Valid from) as Dec 2013 or May 2014 (when she entered)...
