Hello all,

My wife came in the USA as a K-1 in Jan 2005. We were married March of 2005. She received her (conditional ) Green Card August 2005.

August 2008 will be her 3rd year as an LPR. According to the Guide to Naturization, she can apply for US citizenship 90 days prior to Aug 2008, correct? Or is it the 3rd year after her (unconditional 10-year) Green Card was approved?

Thanks in advanced,

Regards,

George

did she apply to remove the conditions on her green card?? you have to file form I-751 and evidence of a bona fide marriage anywhere between 90 days and the day the card expires... which would be 2 years after she got the card...
