My wife is permanent resident since 10/23/2013, and from that date until 07/24/2014 I was a permanent resident as well, then I became a US citizen on 07/25/2014. My question is, when is my wife eligible to apply for her citizen? I'm wondering about the period between 10/23/2013 and 07/25/2014 when I was a permanent resident (Green Card) if it is counted in the 3 years of her period to apply for the US Citizen or no.

Welcome to the forum.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Hi,

The requirement is 3 years of marriage to a USC. The person must be a USC for the entire 3 years.

If you are applying for naturalization on the basis of marriage to a U.S. citizen, send the following 4 items:

Evidence that your spouse has been a U.S. citizen for the last 3 years:

She can apply 90 days prior to your 3rd yr of being a USC.

This isn't exaclty right... the 90 days early filing rule ONLY applies to the 3rd anniversary of the date the applicant became a permanent resident. It doesn't apply to the two other conditions; being married for 3 years and having a spouse who has been a citizen for 3 years.

You should not apply 90 days before the 3rd anniversary of your wedding OR the 3rd anniversary of your spouse becoming a US citizen.

In the OP's case, his wife should apply after he has been a citizen for 3 years, not 90 days before.

Alternatively, she can apply 90 days before the 5th anniversary of when she became a permanent resident.
