Hi guys please I need help abt apply for  a friend I 400.he got his green card toward marriage us citizen,but bit they divorce and he got the divorce decree and he is eligible to apply,but our problem is did he need to send the copy of his marriage certificate and also proof of his ex wife citizenship?and also how much is the new fees.

Thanks

how long has he been a GC holder?

 

he has to be a resident for 5 years to apply for citizenship and he needs to only send a copy of his divorce decree, he isn't married anymore so no need of marriage certificate

 

citizenship isn't based on marriage, but by being a GC holder for 5 years or more

Yes 5years.he got it since 2011 the 10yr GV,but got divorce 2014.

Thanks for yr answe

It's currently $725. The time is anywhere from 4-9 months - it all depends on which local office he is applying to.

As he is not applying for naturalization through marriage, he does not need to include anything indicating her citizenship status but all applicants must submit the divorce decree. If he didn't retain a copy, he can ask the court or his/her lawyer for a copy - they will charge some fee.
