Thank you for your reply. I am not worrying about my continuous residence. What I am worried about is I might don’t meet the 3 month residency before filing the application because I will be in China for that 5 month before I filing the applications.

Do I need to Physically present in the U.S. for 3 month from April 2025- June,2025,if I want to file my application at July,2025?

Thank you.So I do need to come back at April,2025 if I want to file the application at July,right?

my question is about the 3 month residecy . thank you

Dear friends I will be eligible to apply for U.S citizenship in July 2025 (5 years to apply on my own). I have been living in Seattle, Washington since 2021. However, I will reside in China for five consecutive months from February to July 2025, while still maintaining my address in Seattle. I meet all the requirements except for this one: the 3-month residency requirement. My confusion is as follows: Since I plan to apply for citizenship in July 2025, does the 3-month residency mean that I must to reside back in Seattle physically in June, May, and April 2025? Or rather, because I have been living in Seattle since 2021, even if I am not in Seattle from February 2025 to June 2025, I still meet the 3-month residency requirement. So my question is the 3-month residency should be right before the moment I filling the application paperwork? Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it. so it helps me to decied that : (1) Should I come back at april,2025 to meet the 3 month residency so I can apply the citizenship at July,2025 or (2) I can stay in china all the way until June,2025 and come back to seattle and still be eligible to fill the applicaton at July,2025 Thank you again.

I see. Thank you so much. So I have to wait I married with my spouse for 3 years. Appreciate it.

so I am confused now , because I reside together more than 3 years , but I only married for 2 years. I don’t know am I eligible or not. If I try to apply being citizen anyway and if I get rejected, will it affect to apply next time. Thank you

This is what I found out : USCIS considers an applicant to “live in marital union” with his or her citizen spouse if the applicant and the citizen actually reside together.

Thank you. From what I understand from the website, They didn’t say , marriage 3 years ; they require marital union 3 years , and they consider “reside together “as marital union.

Hello every one I meet all requirements for being citizen through marriage except this one : I only have been only married with him for 2 years. however, I live with him more than 3 years so far. I have my green card for 4 year so far ; because I reside together with my U.S citizen spouse for more than 3 years. So I don’t am i eligible or not. In a words , our marriage is only 2 years long . But we live together more than 3 years. and my green card is almost about 4 years now , issue by October 2020. am I still qualified to be citizen through marriage ? my confused point is : Do i have to legal married him for 3 years ? Or living together more than 3 years is eligible too ? thank you for help.
