Hello

I have a few questions about apply for citizen, hope you guys can help to make me clear!

I came to US on April 2008 under K1( fiance') visa and I got my 2 years GC on 01/2009. After that, my ex-husband and I got divorce on 01/2010 and I got 10 years GC after filingI-751 waived in 04/2011. Then, I moved out of state and I met a new one, my husband and I've already got married. I don't know if my status can be changed after marrying him or not? How long can I apply for citizen or I have to wait 5 years from the date when I got my conditional GC?

Thanks alot!

it's 5 years, for the 3 year rule, you have to be married to the petitioner, since you divorced him, then you have to wait 5 years.

you can file 90 days before your 5 years.

You can become a US citizen as early as 01/2012. In order to file earlier, you would need to be married to the same U.S. citizen for 3 years. If you got married again in 2011, that would be 2014, meaning later as if you were to apply based on the 5-year residency rule.

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.

You will have to wait for the 5 year rule..Or rather 4 years and 9 months from the date that your 2 year green card was issued

Thanks a lot guys!

Congress passed that law in 1927, you will be a better US citizen if married to the same person and thus only have to wait three rather than the then standard five years where everybody had to wait.

Presently, the USCIS takes joy in the three year by requiring tons of evidence that you are indeed married to the same person. But in either case have to know six out of ten of the hundred simple questions asked to pass your civics test. And be able to write in English, "I am a good cook.", to be considered a good citizen.
