Question on Citizenship

[Motley 38]

My wife has been in the USA since 07/2016 we were married 10/2016

She received her permanent residence on 5/2020

 

When would she be able to apply for citizenship?

She needs to be a green card holder for 3 years, be married to a US citizen for 3 years, and live with that US citizen spouse for 3 years before she can naturalize.  Your wife does not meet the 3 years of being a green card holder.  She needs to meet all 3 conditions.  Her first opportunity to apply for citizenship will be 90 days before 5/xx/2023 based on marriage to you.

What is your "Resident since' date as stated on your GC? Acc to your timeline, your AOS approval date was 8/31/2017.

Gee.  

Bad information in = bad information out.

Your wife did not receive her permanent residency on 5/2020.  That's when she got her 10 years card after she filed for removal of condition.  She received her permanent residency when she got her 2 years conditional green card.  Since you filed to lift those conditions in June 2019, then she got her first card around June 2017 to September 2017.  That's over 3 years ago.  She can file to naturalize now under the 3 years rule.
