3 yr or 5 yr rule?

[Kutza 0]

I have a quick question. I am a permanent resident since 2010 based on marriage with a US Citizen. We are still together. Do i apply based on the 3 yr rule that we are still together or the 5 yr rule? What is the difference since i am eligible for both.

Thanks!

The general opinion is that if you have the option between 5-year residency application and marriage-based application, to go with the 5-year one since it requires less documentation and fewer questions asked during the interview.

That's what i thought. It looks pretty simple application. I was about to do it 2 years ago but then i got pregnant and i was too stressed out as it was

Thanks!!!
