PLEASE let me know if I understand correctly!! waiting on PRC and N-400 Info

[fernanda08 1]

So I understand that these questions are repetitive so I appreciate you taking your time on mine.

 

MY INFO :    My Conditional Resident Card says I am a Resident since : 6/9/15  , the Expiration was on 06/09/17 

My I-751 was received on June 5, 2017 (we had so much stuff going we were almost late, but got it in before the expiration date) I received the year extension letter from them and have heard NOTHING back.

 

SO, that means that my residency expires on  06/09/18 correct? and only if I am going to travel, change jobs or renew my DL I don't have to do anything...correct?

If I were to travel, after/before the exp. date I must get a stamp that will serve as a kind of validation of my status, but is there a time frame to getting one? like do I have to get the stamp before certain date because I couldn't after that? 

 

I have read about applying for your citizenship with the N-400 but I'm not sure I  really understood  hahaha.  I read that it was 3 years after the Permanent Residency so does that mean that  I would be eligible  6/9/18 ???

If so does that have some kind of time frame as of when after I can apply? like 90 days after or something like that???

 

if you have articles or if you can direct me to a similar question to mine please post it here! 

 

I appreciate you!

I will break this up to better help you and someone else that may read this.

 

Yes, your residency will expire on that date and if you have not gotten a GC near to that date you can make a Infopass appt to renew the extension letter and get the stamp in your passport. You have to get the stamp before your extension letter is up.

 

You can apply for Naturalization with the N-400 anytime AFTER the 6/9/2018 as long as you are still married to your petitioner due to the 3 year rule, and 5 years if your divorced. You can have two petitions going at the same time such as the N-400 and the ROC, and this is actually quite a common thing to do. You just have to be in a valid status in order to apply for Naturalization, which you are in a valid status.

Technically the N400 window opens 90 days prior to the 6/9 date

No. Your proof of status/residency expires then, not the status itself

Nope.

Nope. You can get it before expiry (typically in the 30 days before) after expiry (anytime), or choose not to get it at all.

Nope. If still living in marital union (which is not the same as being married), they can apply at any time from 90th day BEFORE that date.

Add three years to your ‘resident from’ date on your GC.

Subtract exactly 90 days from that date.

You can apply at any time from that date.

OH THANK YOU SO MUCH!! 

GOOD LUCK! I HOPE ALL GOES WELL! I'm thrilled to know this. I literally had no clue I was eligible. I strangely believed I had to wait 3 years AFTER I got my Conditions removed, so you can imagine my shock! lol!

You became eligible on 03/10/2018 because you can apply 90 days before your 3rd year GC anniversary. You can apply online and even pay with a credit card. It's actually easy.
