Good morning everyone,

It's always exciting moving on to the next forum, so now here I am, having just been granted the removal of conditions, my card just arrived, and so my wife and I are considering the next steps available to us on this journey.

It seems that before applying for naturalization the general rule is to wait 3 years, but I wanted to clarify if that is 3 years from the issue date on my new 10 year green card, or the issue date on my old 2 year card, or indeed from any other date I may have.

Any answers, please let me know

Thank you

Look forward to chatting with you all

Jon

I understand the 3 years start counting including the conditional period.

Your card says on it Resident since ?-?-2013 (guessing because you didn't put AOS date in your timeline).

Count three years forward to 2016 to know when you are eligible for citizenship. You can apply 90 days before, but no matter how fast your application might process, you will have to pass your eligibility date before you could take the oath and be a citizen.
