IF the date on the card says "resident since 09/20/2010" you maybe elegible to apply for citizenship as early as July 1, 2013 if you have met the other requirements (to be on the safe side) which you also MUST be married to the same US Citizen spouse from whom the benefit (LPR) was gained. You must meet the residency requirement and a few others located in the guide to Naturalization. **

best of luck

Stating the obvious, but you'll need to apply for removal of conditions first, 90 days before the expiry of your current greencard.

well the OP did not ask about the ROC that's two years away.. he/she's asking something that would be 3 years away possibly.. by that time the obvious is out the door by sept. 2012

Thanks all for the replys...i kindda guessed that was the answer.

I guess i will then need to sign up one more time for the green card

to take me over the 3 year threshold and then apply for Citizenship when time

comes around, is that correct??

thanks again.

You will have to remove conditions in order to be able to get your greencard.

You specifically asked if you needed to get a new green card to get citizenship, I was just answering your question....

Sorry, lost in translation....I put in the original question the date of when I got the Green Card and when it expires, my question was, or should have been, Do I have to apply for a NEW GreenCard when it expires? as I suspect, I can only apply for Citizenship three years from the date of receiving the original GreenCard. when I get the NEW GreenCard to take me legally over the Three Year threshold can I then apply for Citizenship within that time.....also how long do you apply for with the second GreenCard.

thanks for the replies

You just got a baby and inquire about colleges to attend. You've been informed that the child will have to go to school first and will need an excellent GPA when graduating from High School.

Somehow I got the feeling that you don't understand that removal of conditions is almost as big a deal as getting a Green Card the first place. It's a lot more than filling out a form and mailing it in. Citizenship is a joke compared to ROC.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
