Good day everyone. I have a quick question and would appreciate any help.

Soon, I'm reaching the 3 years time span as a PLR married to a US citizen, BUT we are separated right now. I'm wondering if I still can apply for the citizenship being separated? We aren't legally divorced.

Thanks for any help :-J

You can apply for citizenship when you have been an LPR for 5 years, just like most immigrants.

LPRs applying based on marriage to US citizens are allowed to apply 3 years early, but if you are separated, you do not qualify.

You can remain an LPR for two more years and then become a citizen.

No, you can't.

One of the question I got at my interview was whether we ever separated.
