Green card is here!!!

Rarely post, but have leaned on this site since my wife and I started the Visa process. I'm extremely happy to announce that my wife received her green card and started her new job...when you begin the process you think this is going to take forever but everything has gone very smooth and in two years she will be able to apply for full, official citizenship!   Wanted to thank everyone here for all the tips, advice, directions on 'how to',  and everything else in between.

It's 3 years from the date on her green card( married to USC) My wife just received hers on 2/5/2020, we will ROC 90 days before 2 years, then apply for the N400 when 90 days before her 3 years as a LPR approches. They have calculators to determine when you can file. Don't jump the gun like some people do, give yourself a few days leeway.

 

And congratulations, I know receiving the green card was such a wonderful thing. Then off to the DMV to get a full term ID card, and we went to the social security office to get a new card without the work permit wording on it.

I know it sucks because all the time you wait for the AOS interview is wasted and doesn't count towards citizenship. Took us almost 13 months to get our interview. Guidelines below....

 

1. Hold a green card for three years;
2. Be married to and living with your US citizen spouse for three years;
3. Live within the state that you're applying in for three months; and.
4. Be able to meet all other requirements for US citizenship.

Have to have green card for 3 years in your hands.
