N-400 On 3 Year Rule - Marriage Based Question

[kemilk 0]

Hi,

 

To qualify for the N-400 marriage based application, my wife needs to meet both conditions or just one?

 

- must be married for 3 years

- must have a green card for 3 years

 

If she must meet both conditions, we need wait for her green card to reach the 3rd year.  In the meantime, I need to file the removal of conditions.  As I understand it, it is a long wait.  During that wait time, can I also file the N-400?  How does that when both I-751 and N-400 applications are running concurrently?  No conflicts?

 

Thanks.

Both.

 

And yes, a lot of people file for citizenship based on marriage while on the I-751 to be adjudicated; search for "combo interview" on this site for some great feedback on how to navigate that.

 

Good luck!
