Citizenship eligibility

[Minniejp 2]

Appreciate your advice.

I'm married since 2013 and 3 years passed already but green card issued on Sep 2015.

What's definition for applying to citizenship?

May I apply now? Or wait 2 more years since green card issued?

Thanks so much!

You have to be a greencard holder for 3 years.

You need to be both a greencard holder and married to a USC for 3 years, so you still have 2 years to go.

I see.

So I have to wait 2 years more

Well prepare for it.

Not in all cases, no. This is only the case if you're married to a US citizen.

Thank you.

How can I get the information from? That means I may be able to submit it?

hi

nope, if you are married to a green card holder, the wait is 5 years. the minimum wait for citizenship is 3 years married to a USC

it depends on how and from whom you got your GC. from work and family petitions, a person has to wait 5 years

Got it.

I'm married to US citizen since 2013 then 3 years passed. I got a green card since last year 2015 Sep. only 1 year passed since issued Green Card.

Well yes, since OP talked about being married I assumed he/she meant married to a USC. My bad if that's not the case.

hi

so then you have to wait 2 more years, 3 years of being a GC holder married to a USC

you can apply 90 days before your 3rd year anniversary

you have a 10 year GC right?

Oh ok. Thanks for your response.

Understood it depends on the status.
