Naturalization's

[brown007 82]

Pls guys  I was admitted in United States on January/29/2015, and became a LPR on the December/26/2017. 

Q: can I start my naturalization process of becoming a citizen? 

Or wait till January 29 2018 to meet up with the three years?

 

Thanks

you have to be a resident for 3 years and be married to a USC

 

so unless the date is wrong and it was a typo, you can't for now

 

what is the correct date of you becoming a resident? if it was last year, then you have to wait until 2020

You have to be a LPR for 3 years plus married to a USC. When did you become a LPR?

Pls guys  I was admitted in United States on January/29/2015 on cr1 and I have been leaving in the state and still married to USC. I became LPR IR-1 on 26 December 2017

I have been residence since 2015 and on cr1 visa. December 26 2017 I became LPR ir-1

So does that mean I have to be in USA for 6 years before I can become a citizen. I don't think that's correct

You have already asked this and it's been answered previously.  You can apply for citizenship already.  

 

You did not become an IR-1.  Don't use this terminology as it is confusing.  When you entered USA you came on a CR-1 visa and was issued a 2 year green card.  Up to 90 days prior to expiration of your green card, you should have applied to remove conditions (I-751).  I assume you did this and now have a 10 year green card.  If yes, then you can already apply for naturalization.

Living in the USA doesn't count, you only start counting AFTER you become a legal permanent resident. 

So you start counting from 12/26/2017, you can apply in 2020.

 

PS. I was a grad student and H1B holder before I got married and became an LPR. So I've been living in the USA for 7 years now and in the process of naturalization. 

All the years before you become a real LPR don't count.

[brown007 82]

Does the 2 years with a CR-1 count for 2 of these 3 years, or is it 3 years with an IR-1 visa only?

I got this from old thread

 

CR1 is NOT a non-permanent resident. It is Conditional Permanent Resident.

To get US citizenship, therefore, 3 years from the POE for family based categories. You can apply in 2 years and 9 months after POE.

 

If so, my POE was January/29/2015

I'm confused 

[thekfc 26]

I think that the OP is phrasing his/her info wrong.

 

I think what the OP is saying unless I am mistaken is that...

 

The OP got his/her 2 years green card (CR-1) in 2015.

The OP then got the condition removed & got his/her 10 year green card in 2017. 

The OP is stating the 10 year green card as IR-1.

 

Is that correct @brown007?

 

Question to OP.

Did you first had a 2 year green card?

NO.

 

It is 3 years of being a permanent resident. NOT from the POE.

 

Look at your green card. It will say that you are a permanent resident since a date. What is the date on your green card? Because that is the date you use for the 3 years, not when you entered the US.

 

Also, are you married to a US citizen?

This is the clearest suggestion I think. Take out your green card, what is the "resident since" date? This date is the date you became a legal permanent resident, conditional or not. And this is the date you base on.

What's the date on your green card? "Resident since"...
