How long do I have to wait to apply after removal of condition has been filed?

How long after filing I-751 can I apply for citizenship? Been married to a US citizen for 7yrs now. Thanks in advance.

If you want to apply under 3 year rule, you have to be a LPR for 3 years as well as married to the same US citizen (which you are).

 

Look at your conditional green card. What's the Resident Since date? Add 3 years and subtract 90 days from it. This is the earliest you can apply for N-400, subject to continuous residence test and physical presence test and other conditions. Better to apply after 3 full years since being LPR and meeting all conditions.

What is the "Resident Since" date on your green card?

you can apply today if:

- You never spent more than 180 days outside if the US since you became LPR 

- You spent at least 18 months (548 days) in the US since you became an LPR

- Your US citizen spouse was a US citizen all the time in the last 3 years

- You lived in marital union with your spouse for the last 3 years (e.g didn't live apart, didn't  separate, divorce or remarry etc)

Thank you!

Make sure to double check with USCIS tool before you apply. But you should be good to apply now.

Unrelated question, but why did you have a conditional greencard when you were already married 4 years by the time you became a lpr? If you were given a 2 year greencard by mistake, you should have filed I-90 instead of I-751
