When my husband can apply for citizenship

[kgill 2]

Hi, My husband came to USA in nov. 7th 2011 , I just want to know when he can apply for citizenship . Thank you

[Cody and Daisy 373]

I think he has to be in the USA and married for three years to apply for citizenship.

It's 5 years if you live in the USA and aren't married.

Hello Gill,

I assumed your husband has 10 years GC, marriage base is 3 years from the time you received your 2 year conditional GC.

Best of luck!

That depends on the day that he was granted his permanent residency, not the day that he arrived. Provided that you are a USC (and have been for at least 3 years), have been married for at least 3 years, he will be eligible 3 years from the date that his GC was issued. (He can file the N-400 90 days before the 3 year mark.)

• Spouses of U.S. Citizens

  Generally, certain lawful permanent residents married to a U.S. citizen may file for naturalization after residing continuously in the United States for three years if immediately preceding the filing of the application:

  the applicant has been married to and living in a valid marital union with the same U.S. citizen spouse for all three years;

  the U.S. spouse has been a citizen for all three years and meets all physical presence and residence requirements; and

  the applicant meets all other naturalization requirements.

Check the guide section and look for US naturalization. It gives you all the details

Is your husband currently a green card holder? I assume you are the USC in this case.He needs to wait a mere three years to apply for U.S. citizenship if, during that time, he has been a permanent (or conditional) resident married to, as well as living with, a U.S. citizen. (See the Immigration and Nationality Act at I.N.A. Section 319(a) or 8 U.S.C. section 1430(a).) He will need to provide proof that he qualifies along with the application.

You will, however, need to stay married to your U.S. citizen spouse all the way through to his citizenship interview. The exception won't work if you separate

You guys may file Form N-400 ninety (90) calendar days before he completes his permanent residence requirement if his eligibility for naturalization is based upon being a:

Permanent resident for at least 5 years; or

Permanent resident for at least 3 years if still married to a US citizen.

To determine your 90-day early filing date, begin by identifying your 5-year or 3-year date as a permanent resident. For example, if the date on your Permanent Resident Card says July 4, 2006, you meet the 5 year permanent resident requirement on July 4, 2011. If you have met all other eligibility requirements, you may file your completed Form N-400 90 days before July 4, 2011. The earliest date you may apply for naturalization would be April 5, 2011.

He got 2 year GC in dec . 2011 and 10 year GC nov. 2013.

[S_R 148]

He got 2 year GC in dec . 2011 and 10 year GC nov. 2013.

He can apply from August 2014.

Actually, I think December 2011 would make him eligible to file in September 2014, not August.

a friend of mine lost his wife and he already has the 10 year GC, he will like to know if he can apply for citizenship on his own ,he just got the 10 year GC 5month ago

[S_R 148]

Definitely. Unfortunately, because Citizenship is not something that is required for you to stay in the U.S., there is no provision that I have found that allows you to apply for U.S. Citizenship early through a U.S. Citizen spouse that is deceased. To apply for Residency, this is allowed because it is what would help a person stay legally in the U.S. Lack of U.S. Citizenship, or rather having to wait a little longer is not generally an emergency situation. So the earliest that you can file is within 4 years and 9 months of Residency status. I stand to be corrected.
