Please review the pinned post at the top of this forum; the guidelines are spelled out pretty clearly and all the links are there. Your application date will depend on your travel history and other unique details, but the short answer is that you can naturalize after 3 years as a PR.

Now That You Are A Permanent Resident

How Do I Remove The Conditions On Permanent Residence Based On Marriage?

Welcome to the United States: A Guide For New Immigrants

Yes, even this last one.. stuff in there that not even your USC knows.....

Here are more links that I love:

Arriving in America, The POE Drill

Dual Citizenship FAQ

Other Fora I Post To:

alt.visa.us.marriage-based http://britishexpats.com/ and www.***removed***.com

censored link = *family based immigration* website

Inertia. Is that the Greek god of 'can't be bothered'?

Met, married, immigrated, naturalized.

You can NOT apply for citizenship based solely on being married for 3 years.

Wow, I wish this were the case ;) We'll have been married for 4 years this month, and won't even start the 3 year (OK- 2 years, 9 months) countdown until May of this year.

because in some cases, the couple may not even have lived in the US for the first 3 years of their marriage,

This was our case - we didn't get my husband's K3 visa until ONE day before our 3rd wedding anniversary.

Heheh just had to respond to those 2 :) The system works how the system works and the law reads how the law reads. If you don't like it, have the USC in your relationship write your congressman and ask to have it changed. Until it changes, we have to follow the rules. Thanks to all for responding - I had the same question as the OP, and I found my answer. :thumbs:

Jeremiah 29:11-13 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart"
