Question about eligibility for Naturalization

[IloveDanang 38]

Hello,

 

My wife has been here in the US for a little over 5 years.  She is very excited to file for Naturalization.  I went on the USCIS and read all the eligibility criteria, and it seems that she is eligible.  However, when I answered the questions on the USCIS website to determine her eligibility, it told me that she was not eligible.  What am I missing here?

 

Wife's info:

Been living in the US a little over 5 years

Came here on CR1 visa

Has green card

Any long absences out of US for more than 6 months?

If she has been a Green Card holder for 5 years (minus 90 days), she has met that part of the requirements.  Perhaps she is not qualified based on some other answer.  Did it say she is not qualified...or did it say she might not be qualified.

No.  We just got back from Vietnam for 2 months where she visited her parents.  That's the only international travel we did ever since she got here in the US.

Recheck all your answers.  How was the "not qualified" message worded?

Her green card shows "Residence since 6/21/19.

Ok, I just redid the questions. I did misread and answer one question wrong.  For question "when did you become a LPR", I read it as "when did you received your green card" which was after October 20 2021.  Thanks all for helping me.

She became an LPR on 6/21/19.

You said she came on a CR-1 visa, did she file an I-751 petition to remove conditions on her residency? If she entered on a CR-1, she won’t be able to naturalize without this step. Your timeline doesn’t indicate this was filed.

 

Im assuming you must have done something if she just traveled to Vietnam.
