Hi guys,

 

I'm really not sure where to post this so if it's in the wrong place, feel free to move it.  My wife was approved for her visa in October, 2011 and we married December of 2011.  We couldn't adjust her status right away due to some financial issues but we did eventually and she was approved in July, 2014 and given a 10 year green card.  We were looking into her naturalization and I was mostly curious on the rules, according to the book you have to be a continuous permanent resident for 3 years and married to a US citizen for 3 years, did her permanent residency start when we were married or when she got her green card?  Does the delay in us getting her adjustment of status complete mean that we have to wait until July of this year before applying?

 

Thanks!

 

Brandon

It is 3 years since she attained legal resident status, so the Anniversary date in July 2014 would be the date you use for eligibility, but I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong) you can submit the N400 up to 90 days prior, just to get it in queue, which means the application can be submitted in April.
