I've got permament GC for 8 years. I'm planning to apply for citizienship, unfortunately my marriage went south and I want to file for separation. Wondering now then should I file as based on marriage or just based on being 5 years.

I've heard if I file for based on marriage then file for separation , judge might say that I used him to get citizenship which is not a point. We have been married for almost 11 years.

If you are separated or intend to separate, then you can not apply based on marriage; your application will be denied.

You can apply based on 5 years of residency. You've been married for over 10 years, no one is going to think you just got married for a green card.

Of course, you have to meet all the other 5 year requirements outlined in the Naturalization Guide on the USCIS website.
