Confused about naturalization

[SunnySanDiego 17]

Hi everyone,

So I am a bit confused about when I can file the N-400. I Came to the U.S. on Sept. 28/2011, we were married Nov 18/2011. I got my GC in June of 2012, two year GC was renewed this June (2014), and the new ten year GC expires in June of 2024. As I understand it, you can file for the N-400 after three years time, is that right? If that is so when does the three year count down begin from. When can I apply for it? I have tried looking at the guide and I am just confused. I have lived continuously in the U.S. with my husband since I came on the K-1.

Any and all help is appreciated.

You became a permanent resident in June of 2012.

You are allowed to file 90 days before the third anniversary of becoming a resident provided that you were married for 3 years at the time of filing.

Start with the exact date you became a resident, add 3 years, and subtract 90 days. That's when you can file your application.

For example if you became a resident on June 18th, 2012, then you can file on March 20th, 2015.

You must have been married for 3 years at the time you file, but since you got married in November of 2011, that won't be a problem.

Use the USCIS calculator to find the exact date you can send in your application:
