Hello everyone,

I have a general question on whether my wife is eligible to apply for US citizenship. She came to the USA on May 2012. Shortly she applied for her temporary green card. Her green card was good in May 2013 until May 2015. Recently we have filed to have conditions on her green card removed and we've received the receipt for form I-797, notice of action.

The results on her green card is still pending. Now my question here is, Does she have to have her green card for 3+ years in order to apply for USA citizenship? Shes been living in America for 3 years and have possessed a green card for 2+ years.

Thank you for your help regarding my general question.

Same as above, she has to be a resident for 3 years (had green card for 3 years) and she has to be married to the US citizen for 3 years. Any time before the approval of the first green card won't count towards residency.
