We married 13/03/2021. We have been married less than 3 years.

I got my green card: 03/28/22.

I-751 is pending.

Am i eligible to apply N-400?

should i wait for 3 years marriage timeline finish?

 

When i go to N-400 online filing, it ask; ‘Have you been married for 3 years or longer?

-we have been married since 13/03/2024.

i thought you can file n-400 90 days before the 3 years time period.

Earliest Accepted Filing Date:

12 / 28 / 2024

But wait a couple days. It is not advisable to fill on the same date that the calculator shows. Wait unti the 30th. you can start filling it online tho. just submmited on the 30th

[Lord 1]

But when you go to online form, it asks; Have you been married for 3 years or longer?

we have been married less than 3 years.

 

it will be 3 years after march 2025.

when i say NO, website says, you are not eligible to file n-400.

 

But N-400 calculator says, you are eligible and earliest day is 12/28/2024

Do not apply until you are married for 3 years or more living together in marital union.

Somebody got denied recently because they filed in 90 day early filing window but weren't married and living together for 3 years.

It does apply to you. You can file 90 days before your 3 year anniversary of being green card holder (Resident Since day). You cannot apply 90 days early of 3 year anniversary of your marriage with US citizen. You need both to be true: married to US citizen for 3 years or more and resident for 3 years (though allowed to file 90 days early if you're married to US citizen for 3 years at that point)

we have been married less than 3 years.

How come you're married less than 3 years if you married March 13 2021? You've been married for more than 3 years then and are eligible to apply for N-400.

 

If:

marriage is 13 MAR 2021

Resident since is 28 MAR 2022

 

Then you can file case on 28 DEC 2024, 90 days early. I'd file first week of January 2025

^ this caused confusion.

 

As well as you saying you were married less than 3 years.

Not a problem. As long as you remember dates, names etc at the interview, you're going to be OK. There's no need to stress over this.

 

Apply in January 2025, first week. Applying exactly on first day of 90 day early filing window sometimes causes denials. So don't apply on 28 DEC 2024. Any time after is OK.

Submitted N-400 on 30 Nov under 319(b) as husband is military stationed in Saudi Arabia. 

Received RFE for Fingerprints on 13 Dec. Mailed fingerprint cards done by Provost Marshal on 15 December and also have an appointment for Biometrics at the USCIS Office in Doha, Qatar for 29 December as the mail sometimes takes a long time/gets lost, the cards might be smudged or not filled out correctly. We will see what’s faster. 
 

Spoke to the MilNatz team leader in DC and he said once the fingerprints are good the background check may take around ten weeks. And if the N-400 isn’t finalized before the military moves us, we will have to start over if we are stationed in the states, but won’t be eligible until Jan 2027. 🤞🏻🙏🏼

We drove the 7 hours across the Saudi desert to Doha where the super helpful USCIS agent in the US Embassy took the picture and fingerprints digitally. Took about 20 minutes and 90 minutes later USCIS notified us (4 emails) that action has been taken and now the case says “actively being reviewed”

🤞🏻

The fingerprint cards/photos we mailed in have yet to arrive. Probably be smudged anyways.
