Currently you need to wait 5 years to apply for citizenship after a green card. I shaw on the news recently that a bill had recieved the first phase passing of a bill to change it to 4 years. I've looked but cannot find any info on this. Anyone know anything about this or wher to find out more about it ?

I did read of a proposal some time back, it may be part of CIR, either way nothing is going to happen anytime soon, if ever.
