Hi everyone,
I am currently getting closer to the expiration of my 2-year marriage-based GC (hubby is a U.S. citizen) and will be filing I751.
Meanwhile, I wonder if I'd be eligible for directly filing citizenship in conjunction with i-751.
Here's my timeline:
Entered the U.S in November 2021 on a K-1 Fiancé visa
Got married in January 2022
Received my 2-year GC in March 2023
I read through the USCIS website. For marriage-based Citizenship, one of the conditions says:
Be a lawfully admitted permanent resident of the United States for at least three years immediately before the date you file Form N-400;
Does a "lawfully admitted permanent resident" start from the date indicated on my GC? or starts when I entered the country? The term is not clear to me and would make a big difference as If the case is the latter, I would be eligible for citizenship (November 21 - November 24). Has anyone experienced the same?
Thank you for your help.
