It's the same for both: it's based on the date that you obtain permanent residency.

If you obtain LPR status via AOS, that's upon approval of AOS. K-1 visa holders go through AOS.

If you obtain LPR status via an immigrant visa (i.e. CR-1/IR-1), then this is at POE.

 

The date of marriage doesn't matter for naturalization.

Thanks for the information!

I have a question about naturalization from a K1 visa.

 

I thought I read once it was three years from the date of marriage but everyone is saying three years from the date of GC issued (which is different for everyone depending on how back up each regions field office is).

 

Do we know if the IR/CR-1 is greencard and K1 is date of marriage? Thanks!

It’s base on the 3 years of being a Green Card holder in order to file a naturalization. Also you have to be married for atleast 3 years it’s one of the requirements.
