Conditional Green Card, Divorce & Passport

[AA100 19]

Hi All,

I have a quick question. If someone is on conditional green and are considering getting a divorce, what will be the impact on following;

1) How long will it take for them to become US National if they file for divorce while on conditional green card and show that they enetered marriage in good faith so that they can get permanent (10 year) green card ?

2) How long will it take for them to become US National if they file for divorce after getting permanent (10 year) green card?

Your help is much appreciated

Assuming they meet all the other criteria for becoming a citizen they have to wait 5 years from the resident since date on the first green card they got.

Well all citizens are nationals.

But not all US nationals are US citizens.

Thanks all for your response. So whether you have conditional green card or permanent green card it takes 5 years from the issue date of the first green card to become US Citizen. Is that correct.

But if you are married you get you can apply for citizenship after 3 years of first green card, , Right?

Appreciate your help.

You apply 90 days before and it can take 6 months.

Yes.

If the marriage is over, then end it. Don't string someone along for years to shave time off from getting US citizenship. That's just cruel.

Thanks fore your advice. Don't need lectures though.
