Hi all,

 

I became a permanent resident on June 14, 2019 through marriage and I’m still married.

 

From my search online I learned that I could apply for naturalization (N400) 90 days prior completing the three years. My concerns :

 

1- Does that mean I could apply on March 15, 2022? When is the earliest and legal date to apply ?

 

2- Does anyone know how much time the process takes until the interview in the state of New Jersey?

 

3- Do I need to take my wife and son to the interview and ceremony?   
 

I would truly appreciate your answers.

Thank you.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Only you alone can attend, unless you have a pending i751 u will have to bring your spouse.
