Hi everyone,

I am new to this so my apologies in advance if my question is redundant. I have been married to a US citizen for 4 years now and I have a permanent resident card since 12/05/2012.

Does it make a difference if I apply for citizenship after 4 years of being a resident? I was wondering if applying later changes things.

Thank you for your assistance.
