Hi everyone,

 

I am bit confused about when I should apply for citizenship.  My husband and I got married in 2013. I applied for my green card in the beginning of 2014 and received it on October 3d, 2014. It is going to be 4 years since we got married this november.  Can I apply for my citizenship?

 

Thank you

Gotta be a LPR for at least 3 years. You can file 90 days before your 3rd year anniversary as a LPR at the earliest.

For my I-129F, K-1, AOS, EAD, AP and ROC detailed timelines, please refer to my timeline page :)

ROC filed on December 1, 2020, assigned to SRC, approved within 106 days on February 18, 2021.

My sincerest gratitude to all VJers, especially the late geowrian.

You can apply now, but unless you really need to for some reason I'd wait another year and then you'll have been LPR for 5 years and the application is easier because its no longer by marriage. But that's just me.
