Timeframe Question

[JennaCN 25]

I was hoping someone could please give me a +/- time frame or expectancy and please help with one or two questions below.

 

I came over on a K1 visa and have received my Permanent resident card 04/12/17 and it expires on the 04/12/19. I plan to remove conditions and then apply for naturalization with the intend of sponsoring my mom as soon as I can.

 

1) Once I have the conditions removed, how soon could I apply for naturalization?

 

2) How long does is take to become a citizen from the time you apply?

 

3) At what point could I start the process of sponsoring my Mother?

 

Basically bottom line is I am hoping for someone here to advise when I could expect to have my mom living here?

 

Thank you!!

Assuming you are still married to the same USC, you can start the naturalization process 3 months less one day before the third anniversary of the "resident since" date on your GC. So, you are resident since April 12, 2017 and you can file N-400 on January 13, 2020. 

 

It can take many months for the naturalization process to be complete. 

 

You can petition your mother once you have your certificate of naturalization - assuming IR-5 visas have not been withdrawn by then. Assuming all goes to plan, your mother would be looking at late 2021 as her visa approval date using current time scales.
