When will I be eligible for naturalization (divorced US citizen spouse)

[BiAdam 21]

I'm really confused about when I'll be eligible for naturalization. I'm not sure if I need to wait for 5 years or if I'm good to go soon. Here is my timeline:

 

January 2019 

• K1 application

September 2019

• K1 approved

November 2019 

• US entry & marriage

January 2020    

• AOS application

July 2021           

• Conditional greencard

March 2023

• Divorce application

July 2023

• Permanent greencard application - applied with a waiver even though divorce was ongoing, shared divorce application documents

September 2023 -

• Divorce finalized, sent a copy of my divorce decree 

 

In this case, will I be eligible in July 2024 or July 2026?

 

Thank you for your responses!

Since you divorced you will need to apply under the five year rule.

But I was married 3.5 years?

It does not matter. It is 3 yrs of PR and 3yrs of marriage but that marriage has to be ongoing/intact. As you are no longer married you have no choice but to file under the 5 year rule.
