Hello,

I got my green card in March 2014 through VAWA. I know I am eligible to file for citizenship in 3 years which will be in March 2017. I know that those with a 5-year rule can apply 90 days prior to their 5 years of residence, what about the 3-years rule? does it work the same? can i file for citizenship 3 month prior, that would be in December, 2016? when is that earliest time to file for citizenship?
