not married to USC,  it is 5 years to naturalize

 

What is the 5 year rule naturalization?
 
As a permanent resident, you are generally eligible for naturalization after five years. This is the most common way that people apply to become a U.S. citizen. To qualify, you must have lived in the U.S. continuously for the five years immediately preceding the date you file Form N-400, Application for Naturalization.

thank you all. 
i wasn't know that, ithought it's just 18 months to 2 years max,
i got frustrated after knowing that, and i don't know what to do.
the problem if i back to my country to live with my wife, that's means i'll lose my job here, and will not pay taxes, and also will lose a lot of months to be USC. 
anyway thank you all for your reply.

It also means you may well lose your LPR status. Your options realistically are to either give up the green card and be with your wife in another country, or to just wait it out and be apart for 5 years ish. Only other possibility is for her to qualify for a visa via another route i.e. employment based visa, that's worth investigating if you think she'd be eligible for anything else. 

 

How did you get your green card?

i'm going to Seach for that first, i don't want to lose LPR either. i just want her to be with me. it's hard choice to choose between your new life or your partner. 😢
I got the green card by lottery.

 

It's definitely a tough choice. She should also enter the lottery, you never know!

 

Best of luck to you with your decision.
