New greencard after lifting condition

[GJen 9]

Hey everyone

This may be a stupid question, but I needed to ask. Will the date when I became a Resident change in my new Greencard? I just filed for lifting condition and I'll get my new greencard for 10 years... but as long as I know I can become a US Citizen based on Marriage after 3 years from the date I became a Permanent Resident. Since my current Green card is conditional, I wasnt sure if the date will change and then have to wait 3 more years.

The date on my greencard is "Resident since 06/29/2011" ... When will I be able to become a US Citizen?

The date will not change.

The earliest you can apply for naturalisation is 31st March 2014: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=29th+june+2011+plus+3+years+minus+90+days

A GC is a GC is a GC. A LPR is a LPR is a LPR. There is no distinction between a conditional LPR and a "regular" LPR other than the conditional LPR must file for ROC because their marriage to a USC is less than 2 years so the US government decided that those immigrants need to file for ROC to prevent people from marrying a USC just to get a GC. Your LPR since date remains the same and you can become a USC after 3 years of marriage AND 3 years as a LPR as long as you meet all the residency requirements. So you can file 90 days before your 3rd anniversary as a LPR.

Good luck,
