Marriage based naturalization or not ?

[Anastassia 0]

Hello All

I came to the US in 2005 on K-1 visa, my conditions were lifted in December 2008. I am getting ready to apply for citizenship now. Do I apply for marriage based naturalization or based on the fact that I have been a permanent resident for over 5 years, or can I choose ?

What is a difference in the process between the two options ?

Thanks for any input

apply based the 5 years, it's easier, less paper work, and might be easier at the interview. if you apply based on the marriage, you still need to show that you still live with your us spouse etc..
