Hi. Please help clarify for me:

 

I have been a U.S. resident since 9th December 2021 which means I can now file for neutralization. 

 

However, I had temporarily relocated from Kansas (where I had been living since April 2018) to Albama for about 8 months (29th December 2023 to 2nd August 2024).  I updated the change in address on my USCIS online account when I moved to Alabama and when I moved back.

 

Does this mean I have been a Kansas resident only from 2nd August 2024 and need to wait to re-accumulate 3 months of residence before I can file for nuetralization?

 

Thank you for all you help.

Yes, you need to wait until you've lived three months in your current state/district:

Applicants are required to show they have resided for at least three months immediately preceding the filing of Form N-400 in the USCIS district or state where the applicant claims to have residency (See 8 CFR §316.2(a)(5) & §319.1(a)(5)).

Doesn't the 3 year timer start from when you get your green card, and not from when you are married? I've got the same issue and may have misread the rules. Took a year to get her first greencard

Yes, correct. It’s 3 years as a permanent resident (rec’d green card) including the 3 years of marriage while a permanent resident if filing to naturalize through marriage. 
 

The OP hasn’t clarified whether they’re married to a USC and for how long. If they adjusted status another way, it would be 5 years as a green card holder.

Thank you everyone. I have been married to a US citizen since January of 2020 and we are still married.  Based on that I am following the 3 year rule.

 

You need to be married for 3 years and resident for 3 years to apply, which it seems you are.

 

Did you file I-751? Is it already approved or still pending?

Yes. USCIS received my I-751 application on 30th September 2023. Almost 1 year ago.  It has not been approved yet, it says they are actively reviewing it.

This is normal. I-751 take 2-3 years in a lot of cases nowadays. Most likely you'll get interviewed for both.
