So, my GC will expire in 7 months. We´ll b 2 years married. I understood that after that period we can apply for citizenship ( for me ). Is that correct? If so, Which are the steps to follow? Any tips?

Thank you.

You need to be an LPR for three years based upon marriage to the same USC to qualify for citizenship. I am guessing you are referrig to your conditional (2 year) green card expiring. You will need to remove conditions on the green card which you can apply to do no more than 90 days prior to its expiration. See the guides at the top.

First, you need to remove the conditions on your green card. Currently, you have a conditional green card. If you do not file to remove the condition, you will lose your LPR status. You can file 90 days before your card expires.

Second, you can apply for US citizenship after 1) 3 years if having a green card and 2) 3 years of marriage to a USC, and 3) 3 years living with your spouse.

You must file to remove the conditions on your green card. US citizenship comes after that.

you need to remove conditions then you will receive a 10 year green card. Within 3 years of marriage you apply for Citizenship
