Getting a citizenship for my parent after getting a green card based on family reunion

[Veronica Chepur 0]

Hey there. I need advises from people who have been undergoing the same process...

I brought my mom in April of 2019 and applied for a green card based on family reunion. In June of 2020 (06.02.2020 to be exact) she received her green card. So when should I apply for her citizenship? Everywhere says after 5 years from the date the GC was received. Can I apply in advance or should it be 5 years straight?

5 years is the eligibility. 

Can apply 90 days early if didn't break continuous residency or if it won't affect minimum physical presence.

She will apply for her own citizenship. You can help her with the paperwork, but she's the one who applies
