Hi folks,

My cousin got married back in 2013 to a US citizen, but she just got her green card in June 2015.

Her third-year anniversary is in March 2016, is she able to apply for US citizenship based on the fact she has been married to a US citizen for 3 years?

Your support is appreciated.

Thanks,

...Alex

No. She needs to meet all the requirements, not just one.

3 years married to a USC + 3 years as a green card holder = eligible for naturalization.

She needs to have a green card for 3 years and live with her USC husband for 3 years before she can naturalize.

If she continues to live with her USC husband, she can file to naturalize around April 2018.

Thanks for your prompt response! ;)
