Ok to Apply for Citizenship?

[Money2g 0]

Hey everyone. I am thinking about applying for citizenship for my wife and wanted to make sure she is eligible before I do so. She entered the US in Oct 2010 and then got her green card in Feb of 2012. So its been about almost 5 years since she has had her green card, and I myself have been a US citizen since 2009. Will I be able to apply for her citizenship under these circumstances? I have looked through N-400 instructions and think that I should be able to apply for her but wanted to make sure by asking here first. 

 

Also I've heard of the reduced filing that can apply to people with low income. I have recently been let go from my job this past December and am currently unemployed and was thinking of sending in the reduced fee form in with the N-400, but I don't want any issues to arise in doing so because of the fact that I had a joint sponsor when I applied for her visa. If anyone knows of the answer to this or has experience in this situation please let know. 

 

Thanks in advance!

If she's been an LPR for 5 years minus 90 days and hasnt spent much time outside the USA, yes she can apply for citizenship.  If you qualify for the reduced fees then by all means, do that.  No your joint sponsor wont be an issue,  I'm sure they'd be relieved not to be on the hook anymore.

Thanks for the reply. Yes she has only spent a total of 6 months outside of the US in the past 5 years

Then it sounds fine for legal presence.
