Unfortunately my spouse was an lpr so I would have to wait 4 years and 9 months before I can apply for citizenship. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think 3 years rule applies to those who were/are married to usc.

Thanks for the info. I wasn’t thinking about getting married right away. Maybe after a couple of years. It takes time to find someone and get to know the person. Not going to make the same mistake and rush like I did the first time. But again, I’m getting old and 5 years wait seems a bit extreme.

Thank you sir. Unfortunately “pushbrk cannot receive messages.”

Dear All, I had a conversation with my attorney regarding getting married again and he told me that I should not get married and sponsor my wife since I got my GC through my wife who was an LPR. I was told that I should wait 5 years until I become USC. He didn’t remember if it applies to those who got GC though vawa. So I came here seeking advice. My marriage case wasn’t strong enough due to obvious reasons but my vawa case was strong enough that my AOS was approved. Due to what I experienced, I chose not to get married here in the US and marry someone in my home country. My question is… is it true that I should wait 5 years before I petition for my wife? I know it’s a long process and I’m not getting married anytime soon but I’d like to know what my options are. Please let me know if you have any information regarding this. Thank you.
